(Below are several choice excerpts on the importance of meditation.)
George Muller: “It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. We must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts. The most important thing I do, is to read the Word of God and to meditate on it. Thus my heart might is comforted, encouraged, warned, reproved and instructed.”
Charles Spurgeon: “…Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up into your very soul, till it saturates your heart! Therefore Set your heart upon God’s Word! Let your whole nature be plunged into it as a cloth into a dye!”
William Bridge:
“By meditation, your knowledge is raised;
your memory is strengthened,
hearts are warmed.
By meditation, you will be freed from sinful thoughts;
your hearts will be tuned to every duty;
you will grow in grace;
will fill up all the chinks and crevices of your lives, and know how to spend your spare time profitably.
Because By meditation, you will draw good out of evil,
converse with God, and enjoy God.”
Arthur Pink:
“Meditation upon the Word of God is one of the most important of all the means of grace and growth in spirituality, yes there can be no true progress in vital and practical godliness without it. Meditation on Divine things is not optional but obligatory, for it is something which God has commanded us to attend unto.”
“Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” Joshua 1:8
“But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His Law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2
Therefore “I meditate on Your precepts, and consider Your ways.” Psalm 119:15
“Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.” Psalm 119:97
Because “My eyes stay open through the watches of the night, that I may meditate on Your promises.” Psalm 119:148
