Based in part on Psalm 19:14:
On the Gains of Godly Meditation by Michael Doyle The Bible isn't just words but application We must understand before proper supplication Thinking and asking in prayer and open heart Listening to God, hopeful for His wisdom to impart Like a lamp unto our feet, we learn to learn And from this learning, we are still and discern Adhering to the Commandments, we become wise Keeping our promises rather than be caught up in lies Meditating on God's principles as we live Taking it all in that He offers and freely gives From the moment we are saved, we have direction And at times needed, we will feel His correction Listen for His words in every circumstance Hearing His direction over our every happenstance Shutting out everything else directly and fully out Letting there be no distractions without any doubt We must listen seeking only to fully understand All of the truths and insights of His commands God will always bring His truth and insight Teaching us the way of life to be lived right Meditating on the Word to our best capacity Is the very most important of all our activity This is our place of humbling clarity It must be approached with somber sincerity God's Word calms us by witness of the spirit Given to us with His assurances, if we'll hear it His is the path of faithful love in His sovereignty He enlightens us with peace through His divinity Inadequate in ourselves, God gives strength and energy His riches are provided in the glory lived as His legacy In our meditation, we openly expose all of our sin Until we receive forgiveness and know purity again Toward God, we grow in knowing and in our love As our lifelong reminders bring us closer to Heaven above In strengthened faith, we experience His power and authority As we leave our pride behind to walk in our humility This knowledge of the fullness of his presence Comes to us as blessings that feel like presents Each teaching us to know life with its sweet joy Every man, woman, girl and boy (c) May 26, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
