The effects of meditation are supernal(heavenly, exceptional , bringing:
1.) Revival — “The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul” (Psalm 19:7).
2.) Wisdom — “The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple” (Psalm 19:7); “Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me” (Psalm 119:97, 98).
3.) Increases in our faith — “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).
We may be challenged, convicted, and exhilarated with the call to meditation. The question is, how is this to be done? The Scriptures say it should be continual, telling us we ought to meditate “day and night” (Psalm 1:2; cf.119:97), and even while we lie awake at night (Psalm 63:6; 119:148). Ideally, we are to make meditation part of our regular devotion, giving hidden time to reverently muttering God’s Word. But even our busy schedules can be punctuated with Scriptural meditation — in the car, at lunch break, or waiting for a bus. Select a choice text, write it on a card, and slip it into your pocket. Pull it out in those spare moments. Murmur it. Memorize it. Pray it. Say it. Share it.
The discipline of meditation is a must. Moses told Israel as he finished the “Song of Moses”: “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day. . . . They are not just idle words for you — they are your life” (Deuteronomy 32:46, 47, italics added).
Noteworthy, and very critical, is to know there can be no ongoing devotion without confession, which can take place anytime. Ideally it ought to take place whenever we sin. But all too often we are too proud and emotionally charged to acknowledge our sin at the time we commit it — for example, when we lose our temper in an argument. But devotion is impossible if we are overloaded with guilt.
SELAH! HALELUJAH.
