START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW / PSALMS 1:2
True followers of God not only avoid evil, but they also build their lives around God’s Word and actively serve His purposes. They try to obey God and follow His plans because they truly take pleasure in what God loves and desires (2 Thessalonians 2:10, where the wicked perish because “they refused to love the truth”). A godly person’s actions are motivated by love for God and a heart that has been changed and made new by the truth of God’s Word.
ON HIS LAW HE MEDITATES DAY AND NIGHT
Those who desire to live with God’s blessing and favor meditate on God’s law (His Word) in order to shape their thinking, attitudes and actions in a positive way. Meditating on God’s Word involves reading a passage and thinking on it long and seriously to know its meaning. It involves comparing it with other Bible passages and determining how to rightly apply the truth to one’s life. When meditation on a passage in the Bible it is helpful to consider the following question:
- How might God’s Spirit be applying this verse to my present situation?
- What is this passage teaching me about God’s character?
- Is there a promise here for me to recognize and claim?
- Is this passage revealing a particular sin I must try to avoid?
- Is God giving a command I must obey?
- How should this truth affect me relationship with other people?
- Is my spirit in harmony with what the Holy Spirit is saying?
- Is the passage expressing a truth about God, salvation, sin, the world or my personal behavior that I need to understand better with the Holy Spirit’s help?
- Is there something in this passage I can thank or praise God for?
- How can I grow closer to God in light of what He is showing me through His Word?
