Many of us spend time in Bible reading but never spend the time to think about what we read. A time of meditation and reflection on God and his word is important for our spiritual growth. We are a busy people. It is difficult to find a quiet time to spend before God. But it is important that we do this.
Christian meditation is an important part of our spiritual growth, and it is too often neglected.
Let us reserve some time each day, not only for Bible reading, but also for meditating on God's word. In Hebrew grammar this is called a voluntative he, and it indicates a strong desire to take the stated action. In this case the psalmist is saying that he longs to meditate on God's precepts and he longs to fix his eyes on God's ways. We make time for what's important to us. If we, like the psalmist, long to meditate on God's word, we will find the time to do it.
