"...as for me, I will meditate on your precepts...." (Psalm 119: 78)
To meditate on God's precepts, God's ways, God's laws. To let those ways of being seep into our bloodstream as the life-giving, life-preserving source that they are. What might this mean for us? Are we willing to partake in this type of meditation?
The Truth is: Living God's way, by God's law, will transform us. Make us more like Jesus: forgiving, merciful, compassionate, steadfast in love, full of grace.
The Question is: Are we willing to be transformed? To be changed? To let go of those pieces of us---those parts of our lives---that keep us from being Christ-like?
If our answer is yes, then we are to soak up God's ways through study, prayer, sacrament, and fellowship so that whose we are becomes who we are.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.... Your decrees are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart." (Psalm 119: 105, 111)
