Great things seem little to him who stands high. If he could live among the stars, the earth would seem as nothing. To a Christian who stands high upon the pinnacle of meditation, how do all worldly things disappear and seem as nothing to him!
Thomas Watson, Meditation: A Christian on the Mount

Meditation is a cure for our covetousness and love for the world. By elevating our minds to heavenly things, we can look down on the things of the world and see how small and fleeting they are.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (Philippians 4:8)
