Meditating

Psalm 1:2 (NLT)

But they delight in the law of the Lord,
    meditating on it day and night.

Psalm 143:5 (NLT)

I remember the days of old.
    I ponder all your great works
    and think about what you have done.

Psalm 145:5 (NLT)

I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor
    and your wonderful miracles.

“So meditating on the Word of God day and night means to speak to yourself the Word of God day and night and to speak to yourself about it- to mull it over, to ask questions about it and answer them from the Scripture itself, to ask yourself how this might apply to you and others, and to ponder its implications for life and church and culture and missions.”

- John Piper (When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy)
