- I suppose the concept of meditating on God’s word day and night is more of a hyperbole to describe the constant impact of the word rather than a literal description?
- Joe Johnsey could be hyperbole or perhaps more likely a merism (a figure of speech were two opposite poles are meant to convey everything in between, I.e. from east to west - everywhere, day and night - all the time). It is about reflecting on God’s word at all times of the day and letting that guide you. It becomes the way and source of life for the man or woman of God. Similar, to Paul’s hyperbolic “pray without ceasing”
