He Meditates in His Law
Psalm 1 Ps. 1:2
Pastor Martin undertakes a thorough study of what it means to meditate in the law of God day and night. He explains that the Hebrew word for 'meditate' means to mutter or mumble, connecting verbalization with focused thought. He identifies the object of meditation as the Word of God, the proper time as whenever the mind is free, and the great benefit as spiritual digestion -- bringing the general Word into direct contact with one's personal situation. He uses the analogy of the stomach in physical digestion and the art gallery illustration to show meditation's transforming power.
