Psalms 104:34 - Homilies By S. Conway

The blessed meditation of God.

The text is true—

I. BECAUSE SUCH MEDITATION SO AIDS BOTH KNOWLEDGE AND MEMORY .

II. IT WARMS THE HEART . "Whilst I was musing the fire burned," etc. ( Psalms 39:1-13 .).

III. DELIVERS US FROM SINFUL THOUGHTS .

IV. ROUSES THE ENERGIES OF OUR WILL FOR DUTY .

V. PROMOTES GREATLY OUR ADVANCE IN THE LIFE OF GOD .

VI. PROFITABLY FILLS UP THE MARGINS AND ODD MOMENTS OF OUR TIME .

VII. PURGES OUR EYESIGHT , So that we see the silver lining of the clouds that distress us.

VIII. ENABLES US TO CONVERSE WITH GOD , and to enjoy him, as otherwise we could not.—S.C.
