Without meditation the truths which we know will never affect our hearts.
As a hammer drives a nail to the head, so mediation drives a truth to the heart!
Reading Scripture furnishes with matter, it is the oil that feeds the lamp of meditation.
Be sure your meditations are founded upon Scripture.
Reading without meditation is useless. Meditation without reading is dangerous.
The reason we come away so cold from reading the Word is, because we do not warm ourselves at the fire of meditation.
[Thomas Watson]
Jeremiah 23:29 … Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 … All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Psalm 1:1-2 … Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.❤
