Verse 2
"But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;
And on his law doth he meditate day and night."
In the last analysis, it is what men desire in their hearts that determines destiny. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).
Men who do not actually desire the glory of God and the ultimate triumph of truth and righteousness shall, of course, never attain any status of being acceptable to God.
"Meditate day and night ..." This earmark of any servant of God is precisely the reason why it is so difficult for men to be saved, and the primary reason why the majority of mankind, as Our Lord declared, shall never enter the narrow gate nor travel the straitened way, but shall travel the broad way to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14).
How can any person whomsoever meditate upon the word of God "day and night?" It is a manifest impossibility for one who spends five times as much time every day reading the current newspaper as he spends reading the Bible, who spends ten times as much time watching sports contests on TV as he does in the worship of God, or who thinks about worldly and temporal things fifteen hours a day and thinks about God and spiritual things less than ten minutes a day, to follow such a pattern as is seen here.
Satan is making so much noise with all of his devices deployed in all directions, shouting and screaming for our attention, that it becomes increasingly difficult to focus our minds upon the Creator and our obligation to love and serve Him.
