Psalm 1:1-6 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
This man's delight is the Word of God and he meditates on it everyday throughout the day. The word meditates carries with it the idea of a cow chewing its cud. A cow does not have a very good digestive system and it has to continually cough up its food and re-chew it as it breaks down the food in order for it to be digested. That is why you always see cows jaws moving because they are chewing and re-chewing their food in order for it to pass through their system. This is what mediating on God's Word is all about, throughout the day continually chewing on it utill we are able to digest and live out what it says. As we do we become like a tree planeted near streams of water strong, vibrant and fruit bearing.
Father today help me to meditate on your Word and allow it to impact my life as I live out all that you are teaching me.
