Meditations
Scripture
describes
those
who
meditate
on
God’s
word
(Josh.
1:8;
Psa.
1:2;
63:6;
77:12;
119:23,48,78,148).
The
result
of
their
meditation
was
good
behavior.
By
contrast,
their
enemies
are
spoken
of
as
meditating
on
evil
things
(Psa.
2:1;
38:12;
64:2-16),
prompting
them
to
evil
behavior.
This
teaches
a
valuable
lesson:
contemplation
encourages
action!
The
following quotation succinctly expresses this idea:
“Plant a thought and
reap a word;
plant a word and
reap an action;
plant an action and
reap a habit;
plant a habit and
reap a character;
plant a character and
reap a destiny.”
Mr. Beckwaith
(1885)
