Psalm 119:148 My eyes are awake before the watches of the night, that I may meditate on your promise
AELW 11:512-513
"...they seek to be filled here with the riches, the empty glory and pleasure of the world, not that they might meditate on His words. But the faithful people seek spiritual things, which are the greatest things given us in faith and in the Gospel, so that they might not only hear His words (in which He has conferred every good thing upon us) but also meditate on them and make them their own through increase...
...so it is clear that this verse prays literally not for the future church and her goods but for the present church and her good things, which are nothing but the Gospel of grace itself, which is the sign and word of things to be hoped for and not seen (Heb. 11:1). And with such food Christ nourishes us."
