"I will meditate in Thy precepts". Ps 119:15

Writer's picture: Tbilisi Baptist ChurchTbilisi Baptist Church

There are times when solitude is better than society,

and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better

Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God,

and gathering through meditation on His Word

spiritual strength for labor in His service. We ought to

muse upon the things of God, because we thus get

the real nutriment out of them. Truth is something like

the cluster of the vine: if we would have wine from it,

we must bruise it; we must press and squeeze it many

times. The bruiser's feet must come down joyfully

upon the bunches, or else the juice will not flow; and

they must well tread the grapes, or else much of the

precious liquid will be wasted. So we must, by

meditation, tread the clusters of truth, if we would get

the wine of consolation therefrom. Our bodies are not

supported by merely taking food into the mouth, but

the process which really supplies the muscle, and the

nerve, and the sinew, and the bone, is the process of

digestion. It is by digestion that the outward food

becomes assimilated with the inner life. Our souls are

not nourished merely by listening awhile to this, and

then to that, and then to the other part of divine truth.

Hearing, reading, marking, and learning, all require

inwardly digesting to complete their usefulness, and

the inward digesting of the truth lies for the most part

in meditating upon it. Why is it that some Christians,


although they hear many sermons, make but slow

advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their

closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's

Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it;

they would have the corn, but they will not go forth

into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the

tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their

feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly

deliver us, O Lord, and be this our resolve this

morning, ;I will meditate in Thy precepts.

From Spurgeon's Morning & Evening
