Meditation

Meditation has seemed to be a lost art. We may hear about some people meditating, and we all probably imagine someone sitting in a room, on the floor, with our legs crossed and just taking some deep breaths. But there is more it than just sitting in a quiet place, to escape the noise. It is a time to center your mind on the foundation in which live your life.

God’s Word expresses many individual’s meditating. Several key Israelite leaders were seen meditate Isaac, David, Solomon and Joshua, just to name a few. Joshua’s call for the Israelites to meditate was contingent on their life being successful. Here’s what he said.

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful 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

What we need to know today, is that, it’s not that you are meditating, but it’s what we are meditate on. When I fallow passages like Psalm 1:2, which directs to meditate on God’s Word day and night, I have to identify His attribute and power that I see in my own life. Paul states that we all can see God’s invisible attributes in Romans 1:20 and we are all without excuse to not know that God exist and that he has wisdom to give to us.

So mediate on God’s Word to discern and discover where He is guiding you to go and what He is guiding you to do.
