Meditation on the Word

If you were to meditate on this portion of Psalm 1, what would you get from it?

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Psalm 1:1-3

The last sentence tells the benefit of meditation. It is of interest that we don't teach more on this discipline if that is the reward. "In whatever he does, he prospers". Wow!
