Meditati

Tuesday, ‎June ‎7, ‎2022 Good morning, Lord Verse of the Day: Psalm 90:2,4 Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it is past, And like a watch in the night. Memory of the Month: Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Today's reading: 2 CHRONICLES 28-29 JOHN 17 Meditation Many types of meditation have been done in this world by folks of different religions and sects and in many walks of life and done for different reasons. Most are done from self-centered reasons than any other. People 'center' themselves so they can be peaceful on the inside and this is a good reason. People meditate so they can be focused on what they think is the most important thing in life. As we think about meditation, we must remember: Proverbs 14:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Romans 14:23 ►and everything that does not come from faith is sin. Mankind contrives things over the ages that looks good and feels good and then it becomes a way of life. But if something is made up by man-that means it has been added by man-not God. What should the reason be for meditation? Psalm 104:34 says, "May my meditation be sweet to Him". Joshua 1:8 ►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. Meditation should be sweet to God first-then we will be filled with His peace. When we meditate on His word as we seek His kingdom, we will be prosperous and successful in His kingdom-in His kingdom-not ours. God's love is all about us-our love is to be all about God. Psalm 23-He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake... For His name sake-not ours. Meditate on God-on His love and peace and mercy-find out what God's word says about meditation and then find out what a joy His meditation can be. ...because He loves us... Father in Heaven, Teach me how to sit at Your feet and think about You and how to get my world and my wants off my mind so that my meditation may be sweet to You. Sweet God of mercy and grace. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
