Psa 19:14 - " Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
meditation - The Hebrew word pronunced higgayown..."Meditation" is the translation of haghuth, from haghah, "to murmur," "to have a deep tone," hence, "to meditate" (Ps 49:3); of haghigh, "sighing," "moaning" (Ps 5:1; see Ps 5:2); of higgayon, "the murmur" or dull sound of the harp, hence, meditation.
Strong's Concordance places meditation's definition between a "plotting" and a resounding music.
In other words, a repetitive note, or a continual rhythm, whether in thought, action or music.
Note: not a variety. This is the day-to-day thinking of habit. The routine. The everyday. Call it the average thought, the normalcy of your brain action or the cerebral "putting one foot in front of the next."
And that's what the Psalmist wants to be acceptable to God.
Not necessarily the high spirited praise service. Not necessarily the emotional lift of a Biblical retreat or a mountaintop experience.
This is the laundry-day thinking. This is the WalMart and Saturday-chore thinking. You see? God wants the mundane to honor Him as much as the spectacular.
That's the way our thinking should be. All for Him. Not just the thoroughfares of our thoughts, but the alleyways and the backstreets.
