Psalm 1 is a cornerstone for understanding biblical meditation.  It provides a vivid picture of the righteous man who delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on it day and night.  This practice is not just a fleeting moment of reflection but a continuous, life-enriching process.  As we explore this passage, we'll uncover how meditation, as defined by Puritan John Owen, involves "thinking a truth out and then thinking a truth in until its
ideas become big and sweet, moving and affecting."
 
Meditation on God's Word is about immersing ourselves in His truth, pondering its meaning, and allowing
it to transform our hearts and minds.  It's about asking ourselves, "What is God saying through this passage?  What truths are being revealed?  How does this apply to my life?" This process helps us internalize God's Word, making it a guiding force in our daily lives.
 
As we think the truth out, we engage with the Scripture intellectually, seeking to understand its depth and implications.  Then, as we think the truth in, we let it penetrate our hearts, prompting us to align our lives with God's will.  This dual process ensures that God's Word is not just understood but lived out, becoming a source
of delight and strength.

Psalm 1 describes the blessed man as one who is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in its season.  This imagery reminds us that meditation nourishes our souls, enabling us to thrive spiritually.  Just as a tree draws sustenance from the water, we draw strength and wisdom from God's Word.
