"BLESS THOU THE LORD, O MY SOUL." How manifold are Thy works. Thou art worthy of my meditation all the day. To meditate is to think deeply and seriously, and at length, upon one subject: if the subject is godly, the exercise is peculiarly profitable: if the mind is spiritual, meditation of Jesus will be sweet. Let us think of Him frequently, intently, and seriously. Let us meditate on the glory of His person, the riches of His grace, the power of His love, the tenderness of His sympathy, the strength of His arm, the merit of His blood, the magnificence of His righteousness, the triumph of His conquest, the splendour of His ascension, the efficacy of His intercession, the exalted station He fills in heaven. Think of His constant care of His people on earth, what He gives to them, what He requires of them, and the glory to which He will raise them, when He comes again the second time. Let us meditate, and let Jesus be our subject. Let us meditate on His person, His office, His work, His kingdom, His humiliation, His exaltation, and His character. Such meditations will be sweet, revealing to us the Lord in nature, in providence, and in grace.

For Meditation:
Sweet are the thoughts which fill my breast,
When on His various works they rest;
God my Creator lifts my voice!
In God my Saviour I rejoice!
