Meditating on God’s Word

Devotional Reading: But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. Psalms 1:2 NLT

Meditation is more than just reading. It involves filling your mind with God’s Word, so you think about it throughout the day. It requires the discipline to keep His Word on the front of our minds despite the twists and turns that our day makes take.

Sure, you think about other things as well, but all the while, you are applying the Word of God to yourself personally and to the things you do. Instead of dwelling on your problems or the latest media trends, you dwell on what God’s Word says.

God’s Word won’t bring you down like so many words spoken in this day and age. His Words don’t invoke fear, guilt, or frustration but instead provide feelings of peace, wisdom, and true, fulfilling happiness. His Words build us up instead of tearing us down. They never discourage but instead motivate us to be closer to Him.

When you meditate on the Word, God paints a picture on the inside of you, too. It is a picture of you being the head, not the tail. Of you being blessed, not cursed. It is a picture of your soul prospering, of abundance and not lacking.

Prayer and Confession
Father, as I a meditate upon your word, my heart is established and receive of the wisdom it brings me. Amen!
