Reflect from childhood to now as an adult.
What were those things that were dear to you and those that are dear to you now?
As a child your new toy captures your attention before you fall asleep and in awaken, it is the first thing you seek to look upon and take in your presence.
In relation to this, today’s verse is from Psalms 119:15, we draw the same idea from this passage.
It reads, I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways.
Psalms 119:15
The words of interests are:
Meditate
Precepts
Respect
Ways
This will be a four-part exposition, and for today we will look at the word “meditate” in relation to the verse.
Meditate The meditation of the believer toward the word of God should be as something you the believer does willingly rather than an obligation that must be done. Like a child, he, or she, upon waking up, they are not told to seek out their toy, they naturally proceed and find it for the appreciation and the admiration thereof. So should be the believer and the Word of God.
The initiation of such a mindset is found in a grateful heart and a content mindset. Thus we read in the preceding verse. Verse 14 - I have rejoiced in the way of Thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
Psalms 119:14
As the old saying goes, count your blessings. Therein, may you find the time for the meditation of the Word of God and the delight thereof.
Next we will look at the word from the verse – the word “precepts.”
