vs. 15: Provides Contemplation
I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. Psalm 119:15
Meditate: ponder, study
Precepts: a mandate of God — collectively, for the Law
Contemplate: shew regard to, consider
Ways: of mode of living or of character
Contemplate: to look at or view with continued attention; observe or study thoughtfully (Dictionary.com)
Contemplation: the act of contemplating; thoughtful observation; full or deep consideration; reflection; purpose or intention (Dictionary.com)
Not just random thoughts. But thoughts with intent. Thoughts that will have an impact on my actions, words, and motives.
Contemplation — thoughtful observation directed specifically to God's mode of living. And this level of contemplation means that I need to know God's Word.
So, what are you thinking about today? What has your attention? What are you contemplating?
