But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

Psalm 1:2

The soul that meditates on the Word of God has great joy. It is the delight of Scripture that fills the heart. The Christian does not only read and ponder on Scripture he applies what he reads to his life. The Word of God teaches us to be transformed by divine revelation. Our will, heart, and mind are renewed as we digest the sweetness of the Bible.

Writing to Timothy the Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). God has given Scripture for the good of His people. Scripture is a blessing of God to mankind. In the Bible, we meet with the living God. We learn who God is and what God is like. Psalm 19:7 says, “The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.”

Consider these questions.

1. Is it your habit to seriously read and study God’s word daily?
2. Do you meditate on key verses or does God’s word have little place in your thoughts?
3. Have you failed to apply Scripture that speaks of need in your life?

Filling your mind with Scripture requires a consistent choice. You cannot love God and neglect the Word of God. Christ told us if you love him, then keep his commandments. Make a personal commitment to embrace Scripture and to memorisation of God’s word.
