Meditate and Respect- Psalm 119:15

Meditate – According to Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – To dwell on anything in thought; to contemplate; to study; to turn or revolve any subject in the mind; appropriately but not exclusively used of pious contemplation, or a consideration of the great truths of religion. 

And Respect – To regard; to have regard to in design or purpose.

Psalms 119:15  says I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 

How many empty promises have I made to the Lord that I would spend so much time in His word studying and meditating?  My spirit is willing, but my flesh is so weak.  Nevertheless, it is expedient that I dwell daily on the Word of God.  I need to ponder His Words, study them, and think of them over and over so that they become part of my very being.  

What is most important to me?

Do I value the things of this world more?  Or do I fix my eyes on the Lord and his Word, reflecting on His ways?  

Am I regarding His Ways as the design and purpose He has for my life?
