PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT.
Sept. 8th, 2025
MEDITATE ON THE WORD. HOW?
Biblical meditation is a spiritual hunger for the Word, to know, to understand, and to apply the Word of God. In this sense, meditation is not mere thinking, it is deep thinking of a puzzle that needs to be solved and resolved. It is written; "If you look for me WHOLEHEARTEDLY, you will find me"(Jer.29.13.NLT).
Seeking and finding God is in the WORD of God. “I love all who love me. Those who search will surely find me. (Pro.8.17.NLT) You cannot be passive or reactive, you have to be active.
God commanded meditation: "And you must COMMIT YOURSELVES WHOLEHEARTEDLY to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. (Deut.6.6-9.NLT).
And the REWARD: ".......and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers." (Psa.1.2-3.NIV) And to Joshua God said: "Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Josh.1.8.NIV)
Meditation is not only finding a quiet place and alone time with God but also opening your heart and mind, shutting out distraction and waiting till God speaks. And He can speak to you anytime of the day or night and so meditation also involves LISTENING. The cherry on the cake is your OBEDIENCE.
Hear what David said: "I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word." (Psa.119.15-16.NIV) The Psalmist continues; "I will consider ALL your works and meditate on ALL your mighty deeds.” Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?"
(Psa.77.12-13.NIV)
Meditation involves prayer, memorising the Word of God, worship, thanksgiving and hymns. Once you get to meditate on the Word regularly, you carry the presence of God with you wherever you go and He will direct your path.
THE WORD: “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer." (Psa.19.14.NIV)
