“My meditation of him shall be sweet…” (Ps. 104:34) In this busy, non-stop, hectic culture in which we live, Bible meditation has become a lost art.

“Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” (Prov. 3:7) Here’s a riddle for you. A man is walking down the road. There are no lights, no moon, and he is dressed in all black. A car drives down the same road. The car has no lights on, yet
