Meditation on the Word of God

"One of the most underrated benefits of memorizing Scripture is that it provides fuel for meditation. When you have memeorized a verse of Scripture, you can meditate on it anywhere at anytime during the day or night. If you love God's Word enough to memorize it, you can become like the writer of Psalm 119:97, who exclaimed,
"Oh how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long."
Whether you're driving the car, riding the train, waiting at the airport, standing in line, rocking a baby or eating a meal, you can benefit from the Spiritual Discipline of meditation if you have made the deposits of memorization."
