Meditate on these things. Give yourself totally to them
That our profiting will be on display for everyone
1 Timothy 4:15
Ponder these things; be absorbed in them
Cultivate these things. Immerse yourself in them.
“take pains with these things.”
give yourself entirely to them.
give yourself undividedly & undistractedly to the word of the Lord.
MacDonald notes:
Our study & meditation on God’s Word should be done in an all-out in his efforts.
In this way, our progress will be evident to all. Don’t ever hit a plateau in thinking
about God’s word. Don’t ignore scripture & then settle down into a comfortable rut.
Constantly be always advancing in the things of the Lord.
Keep God’s Word before us. Have it always on our lips;
meditate on it day & night, so that you may be careful to
do everything written in it.
Then we’ll be prosperous & successful.
