12. I will meditate also of all thy work. Sweet
work to enter into Jehovah’s work of grace, and there to lie down and ruminate,
every thought being absorbed in the one precious object. And talk of thy doings. It is well that the overflow of the mouth should indicate the good
matter which fills the heart. Meditation makes rich talking; it is to be
lamented that so much of the conversation of believers is utterly barren,
because they take no time for contemplation. Meditative people should be
talkers, otherwise they are mental misers, mill which grind corn only for the
miller. The subject of our meditation should be choice, and then our talk will
be edifying; if we meditate on folly and pretend to speak wisdom, our
doublemindedness will soon be known to everyone. Holy talk following upon
meditation has a consoling power in it for ourselves as well as for those who
listen.
