“CHRISTIAN MEDITATION!”
Psalm 1:1-2
“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.”
Godless meditation scares the wits out of me. Modern-day gurus say clear the mind of everything and find that inner peace. Yikes! That certainly gives unguarded entry to demonic forces of every sort. STAY AWAY FROM IT!
God does want us to meditate, but there is a difference. In today’s Scripture the Psalmist begins the book of Psalms by introducing us to God’s type of meditation. It is not the mind clearing sort of stuff, but the God-indwelling type.
It begins with the way we are to behave. The psalmist says we are to stay away from the godless sinners around us. The first step to godly meditation is a true walk with God. If we are not walking with God, we cannot have communion with Him.
If we walk in harmony with the Lord, we are called to meditate on His Word day and night. There is the key -- it is not a blank mind, but rather a mind that is full of the Word of God and applying it to our life. Are you meditating correctly?
Blessings dear hearts!
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
