34. My meditation of him shall be sweet. Sweet
both to him and to me. I shall be delighted thus to survey his works and think
of his person, and he will graciously accept my notes of praise. Meditation is
the soul of religion. We ought, therefore, both for our own food and for the
Lord’s honor to be much occupied with meditation, and that meditation should
chiefly dwell upon the Lord himself: it should be meditation of him. For want of it much communion is lost and much happiness is
missed. I will be glad in the Lord.
To the meditative mind every thought of God is full of joy. Each one of the
divine attributes is a well-spring of delight now that in Christ Jesus we are
reconciled to God.
