Meditation
does not mean sitting cross-legged on the floor and chanting “oooohhhhmmmm”.
Meditation
is pondering. Memorizing. Going over and over and over a thought in
your mind.
God declares
that we are to meditate on His Word.
“This Book
of the Law shall not depart from your mouth; but you shall meditate in it day
and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in
it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success.” (Joshua 1:8)
God desires
us to focus on His Word, not on our problems.
To focus on Him, and not on ourselves.
Have you
ever worried about something? A
hurt? A problem? A situation?
You found yourself thinking about it all day long, every day? If you have ever worried, then you already
know how to meditate! Just change what
you’re thinking about to be God’s Word and His promise, not that problem!
Take a
scripture, write it on your index card, and carry it with you today. Look at it throughout the day. Repeat it to yourself over and over. Think about its meaning. This is meditation and memorization of
scripture. You are hiding God’s Word in
your heart.
Today’s
reading is John Chapter 5. One verse you
could ponder, and meditate on today is verse 24.
“Most
assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me
has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from
death into life.”
What does
this verse mean to you today?
Read John
Chapter 5.
