"The more intimately we converse with the word of God, and the more we dwell upon it in our thoughts, the better able we shall be to speak to God in his own language and the better we shall know what to pray for as we ought. Reading the word will not serve, but we must meditate in it."
- Matthew Henry (1662-1714) on Psalm 119:148.

Meditation
"Many a plain, honest, unlearned disciple of Christ, by meditation, experience, prayers, and especially obedience, attains to a more clear, sound, and useful knowledge of the word of God, than some great scholars with all their wit and learning."
- Matthew Henry (1662-1714), an English Presbyterian. His father taught him as a child to meditate each day, throughout the day, on one verse of Psalm 119, traversing through the whole psalm twice a year.
