I'm taking a class called, "Solitude, Meditation, and Prayer." Our pastor is an awesome teacher and I respect his interpretation and appreciate his delivery. We are encouraged to meditate on several verses of Scripture each week, finding some time of solitude to do this. This week I chose Psalm 119:10-16. Several years ago I chose these same passages as memory work and while it sounds very familiar and I can fill in many phrases, I can't say as I totally memorized it. Our goal in meditating is not memorizing but I find myself in my daily walk, wishing I could pull some of God's Words out of my head and actually use them; for myself or for others. So this week my meditation has been dual purposed. What I found was the same premise I used in my classroom. Repetition Repetition Repetition. As I read and reread and reread and tried to connect the words so I could remember them, I began to develop so much more meaning to the verses. Here they are. I hope they bless you today.
"I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I may not sin against you.
Praise be to you, O Lord;
teach me your decrees.
With my lips I recount
All the laws that come from your mouth.
I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches.
I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word."
Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored.
