His delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. (Psalm 1:2)Meditating on God's Word is not reading it, memorizing it, or even studying it. It's chewing on it, turning it over in the mind, percolating and letting it become part of us.
On what are you meditating? It's been said that the mind wanders every seven seconds. [1] When idling at a red light, standing over a sink full of dishes, or sitting at your desk, where does your mind go? Wherever it goes is probably what you're meditating on.
It is in meditating on the law, God's Word, that it really becomes a part of us.
Where does your mind go when it wanders?
