In the next chapter Solomon instructs his Son to meditate and memorize scripture and tells him what the reward will be. Meditation produces joy and praise which restores our soul. When you can't sleep at night, turn the precious promises of God's word over and over in your mind and a peace will flow over you. Its a peace as satisfying as the richest food your taste buds can savour. Life is too precious to miss the wisdom, success, joy and physical, emotional and spiritual health meditation gives us.
Meditation is a quiet reflection upon the words of Scripture.
Thy testimonies are my meditation. Meditation is a musical repetition of God's Word. Meditation is a prayerful reviewing of Scripture. Meditation is communing with God in the language of His written Word. This leads us to the inner wholeness which is necessary to give ourselves freely to God.
