You are Meditating...
Did you know that you are MEDITATING daily whether you know it or not?
In Hebrew the word meditate means to think over, to dwell on, to chew on repeatedly.
That means...
Anything you are thinking about over and over again,
Or REPEATEDLY dwelling on,
You are MEDITATING on it.
So when you are angry at someone,
And you're replaying what was said in your head,
You are MEDITATING on it.
If someone wronged you,
And you're thinking about how horrible or wrong they are,
You are MEDITATING on it.
If you desire to grow your business,
And you keep thinking about how to do this and that,
You are MEDITATING on your business.
If you are trying to go to sleep,
But you keep thinking of things you shoulda, coulda done,
You are MEDITATING on the things not done.
If we are obsessing over our weight, clothes, closings, deals, wealth, what other people think,
Then we are MEDITATING on those things.
We actually MEDITATE a lot more than we realize.
"I will MEDITATE on your precepts and keep my eyes on your ways."
How much do we MEDITATE on Jesus?
How much are we concerned about what He thinks?
How frequently are we seeking Jesus for His desires?
"Blessed is the man who... his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he MEDITATES day and night."
Are we MEDITATING on Jesus enough?
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight"
Our brain power and head space is being occupied by SOMETHING,
And is that SOMETHING drawing us closer to Jesus or distracting us?
Be very careful with who or what you make Lord over your mind,
For that may be God or an idol of this world,
It may be God or an idol disguised as goals and success,
It may be God or an idol disguised as financial freedom or obligation,
Be very careful, my brothers and sisters...
"Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."
"Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me make YOU the MEDITATION of my heart,
Help me keep my eyes on You.
Help me wonder what You think,
Help me want to do what You want,
Help me ask You for Your opinion,
In ALL things like You have told us to.
Teach me how to MEDITATE on Your word,
Teach me how to MEDITATE on Your voice,
Teach me how to MEDITATE on Your promises,
So that I may know You and love You more.
Train my heart to MEDITATE on the things that will glorify You.
In Jesus name, Amen."
Cheers to making Jesus the #1 MEDITATION of the heart. Keep asking God to help you MEDITATE on Him more each day.
