My meditation of Him shall be sweet

My meditation of Him shall be sweet

"My meditation of Him shall be sweet—I will be glad in the Lord." Psalm 104:34

Let me strive in these days of ceaseless activity, to secure a little time every day for meditation, as well as for prayer.

Let my thoughts be chiefly of the Lord and His goodness, for that is a theme I can never exhaust; and it is one full of refreshment and delight! "My meditation of Him shall be sweet."

Let me then think of His loving-kindness in the morning—and of His faithfulness every night.

Let me dwell upon His grace as it is revealed in Christ Jesus—and of all the relations of love that He bears to His people, in Him.

Let me think of His past dealings of mercy—and of His promises of future good.

Let me especially dwell upon His grace to myself . . .
  in enlightening my dark mind,
  in pardoning my sins,
  in clothing me with the robe of His righteousness, and
  in giving me His Holy Spirit to be my Teacher, my Sanctifier, and my Comforter.

Let me think of His patience and forbearance, of His faithfulness, and unchanging grace!

As I linger in contemplation on these themes . . .
  my meditation will be sweet,
  my soul will be refreshed,
  my gratitude will be awakened,
  I shall be glad in the Lord, and
  rejoice in the God of my salvation!

How sweet and cheering is the theme,
Of God my Savior's grace;
May it employ my daily thoughts,
'Til I behold His face!

Back to Every Day!
