JONATHAN

Good morning! I’m Jonathan Crabtree, Pastor for Student Ministry at Central United Methodist Church in downtown Meridian. Do you enjoy meditation? By that I mean, do you enjoy and find energy after contemplating in silence for an extended amount of time? The first Psalm gives us some wisdom and instruction into how we should approach this act.

The Psalmist begins by saying those who are blessed are those who don’t walk with the wicked, stand with sinners, or sit with scoffers. Then, the Psalmist says their delight is in the law of the Lord because they meditate on it day and night. Then, the author compares them to a tree planted by water and how they grow, prosper, and their leaves never dry. Wow – what a comparison. I encourage you to mediate, memorize, and contemplate on God’s Word this day. Turn to Psalm 1 and delight in it.
