In our study of Psalm 1 we found that if we want to experience the God blessed life there are some things we must avoid. As we continue to amplify the secret of the God blessed life we find in verse 2 there is something we must acquire. Listen to the secret revealed: “Blessed is the man…(whose) delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” It is hard to delight in something you have not been exposed to or experienced. Delight is an effect resulting from experiencing something. For that delight to intensify, further exposure and experience is required. That’s why the Psalmist goes on to say, “on his law he meditates day and night.” If you want to delight in the law of the Lord you will need to read, study and meditate on the law of the Lord. It will require time and work. In fact, you will need to meditate on it day and night. The only way you can do this is have your mind so saturated with the law or word of God that your sub-conscious mind processes it even when you are sleeping. I know of no surer way for that to happen than to memorize God’s word. As you memorize, do your best to master it. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you as you study and memorize a verse or portion. After you have done this, review it over and over again so it gets engrained into your mind. Then ask the Lord to enable you to obey what it says. Share with others what you have learned. I believe, if you do this there will be times your sub-conscious mind will be mulling it over even while you are asleep. This is the secret of a God blessed life.
