Psa 1:1 Happy are those who reject the advice of evil people, who do not follow the example of sinners or join those who have no use for God.
Psa 1:2 Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the LORD, and they study it day and night.
Okay, so we are to meditate on His word day and night! That means to meditate consistently always! How are we to do that? Can we walk around with our noses in our Bible all day long? Well, we can read our Bibles more than we do but that still isn't going to allow us to do it day and night....every second. To do this we have to start memorizing scripture. So, do you memorize scripture? That is a loaded question and one that I ask myself also because my answer would be no. UGH! I hate to admit that but it is just true. I have memorized verses in the past but not consistently. And is memorizing a few verses here and there enough? What would happen if you no longer had access to a Bible? Would a few verses here and there be enough to sustain you? We need to be doing more!
We are told in verse one to not follow the example of sinners. Well, the easiest way to do this is to INSTEAD.....meditate on scripture. This reminds me of when Jesus used the Word against Satan when he was trying to tempt him. Jesus is our example! Did He pull out the Bible right then and there and read it to Satan? Of course not! He knew it! He had these laws memorized!
So, this is our challenge.....memorization! With God you CAN do this!
