Meditating on the Word

Psalm 1 tells us that they are blessed who delight in the law of the LORD and meditate on it day and night. Out of curiosity, I looked up the word "meditate" to see what it means in the original language. The word "meditate" in this case means to murmur with pleasure. What a delightful definition! Meditating on the word means to murmur over it with pleasure! I can recall moments when I have, indeed, murmured with pleasure over a gem of Truth discovered in the Word. But, oh how much more I desire to delight in and murmur over the sweet Word of God day and night.

Cultivate that desire and give me that delight, O God.
