Psalm 1 says that the blessed person delights in God’s Word … and on God’s Word they meditate day and night. (Psalm 1:2)
What does this look like?
What does it look like to “meditate on God’s Word”?
* It could look like writing out meaningful passages of Scripture in your journal.

For me personally, this is what “meditating on God’s Word” looks like:
* It looks like toting a wheelbarrow-full of wood in the rain … and suddenly having the thought pop into my head – you know, this reminds me a lot of Psalm 91.
* It looks like standing at my kitchen sink and noticing the holly tree just outside the kitchen window … and suddenly thinking – you know, this reminds me of Psalm 1.
* It looks like seeing a bear paw-print in my flowerbed … and suddenly thinking – you know, this reminds me of Luke 6:43-45.
* It looks like discovering ice crystals in the garden … and suddenly thinking – you know, this reminds me of Psalm 1 too!
* It looks like sweeping seeds off my back deck … and suddenly thinking – you know, this reminds me of 2 Corinthians 9:8-10
