Psalm
119:15
I
will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
Carol
had never thought of meditation as a part of her Christian life. Meditation was
something the Eastern faiths believed in, or so she'd always thought. But the
speaker at the church had begun talking about Christian meditation, and it made
a lot of sense. So often her prayer time was hurried, and she often didn't even
stop to listen, to see if God might be trying to get through to her. In the
ensuing weeks, Carol began to meditate daily, and she felt a closeness to God
that she'd never known before.
Meditation
sets our whole mind and spirit in a proper mood for encountering God. We are
made ready for hearing the Word of God in our hearts. It also makes it easier
to spend time with God. Meditation opens doors to God that we might have missed
before. Take time to quietly contemplate the glories of the Lord.
Prayer:
I need to be quiet and think of the many miracles that go on all around me.
Come to me in my peace, O Lord, and share the blessings of the calm. Amen.
