"O HOW LOVE I THY LAW! IT IS MY MEDITATION ALL THE DAY." The tables of the old covenant were laid up in the ark, within the holy place; the treasures of the new covenant should be hidden in the believer's heart. By daily prayerful meditation, we should seek to understand, enjoy, and profit from God's holy word. It is manna for the soul, light upon the road to God, and the rule by which we do His work. Let us lay up the gracious doctrines, which are the ground of our confidence; the exceeding great and precious promises, which are inexhaustible sources of strength and comfort; and the kind and holy precepts, which are our unerring guides. Hidden in the heart, no one can rob us of this priceless gift; nor do we have far to seek when we want it to enjoy. But in order to do this, we must diligently search its pages, ponder it in our minds, and feed upon it as our daily food. Except we hide it in our hearts, we shall not be sanctified by it, nor will it be written and read in our lives. May it be our daily prayer, that God would put His laws into our minds, and write them upon our hearts.

For Meditation:
Its promises rejoice the heart,
Its doctrines are forever true;
Knowledge and pleasure they impart
They comfort and instruct us too.
