The Biblical Meditators

Friday, December 10, 2021

Psalm 1 says, "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law, he meditates day and night." The word blessed in Hebrew is ashray, which also means happy. So it could be translated, "Happy is the man..." Do you want to be happy? One of the key secrets to happiness or joy in God is to meditate day and night on the Word. Meditation doesn't mean putting on a robe and seeking to dwell on nothingness. That's the meditation of eastern spirituality. But we have something to meditate on. Instead of living such anti-meditative lives - rushing all over, cramming our lives with social media, information overload, sensuality, and sensations and no time to think, we can have real peace. If you want joy, start this very day. Meditate on the Lord, His goodness, and His Word. Soak it in, and you too will be like a tree planted by the water, and on top of that, you will be happy.rn
