The heart of a pastor who is seeking to win his readers and lead them to see and apply the life-changing truth of this Psalm is evident throughout. The beauty of each verse is highlighted for the reader as he learns about the way that the psalmist uses parallelism and striking comparisons in order to praise the Word of God and encourage our faith-driven obedience to it. These are truly useful meditations, with simple wording that is to the point, but that yet startles with its profundity. Those who profess to love the Word of God will find joy, instruction, and encouragement.
Reading Pastor D. Scott Meadows’ caring and careful meditations on the verses of this Psalm is an aid to meditation as well as an encouragement toward greater discipline and faith in the reading of God’s Word. The author’s enthusiasm for the Word of God is contagious.
These meditations are commendable for their warmth and simplicity. Like the writings of the Puritans, they give off both “light and heat.” One is led to hope and pray with the psalmist, “I shall run the way of Your commandments, For You will enlarge my heart.”
