The word for the weekend is - Meditate !

The word for the weekend is - Meditate !

 

The question for us (the believers) today is what are you meditating on? Is it food, people,things or God's word? We have all heard the expression, "you are what you eat" (flesh or spiritual), but it is also true to say "you are what you think or meditate on"(flesh or spiritual)daily. Should we Meditate daily___ ? We need to pay close attention to our thoughts,it is not possible to prosper without God's word in you! The word of God says, blessed is those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, but follow God's word, read Psalm 1:1,Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. Meditation is a very good thing; depending on what your meditating upon. Someone may be asking how do you meditate or what is meditation? That is a good question? The answers is, Meditation is a function of the mind and the heart. It is what we think about in our hearts and it is something we each do everyday. Whether we realize it or not, we all spend a large portion of our time in some form of meditation ( flesh or spiritual).Your mind and your heart are both being shaped and formed daily. Your mind is programmed by the things you read daily, the people you associate with or talk with daily,or the ungodly influence of others? We are in this world , but we are not of it, avoid ungodly influence by others!  Why ?  Because God said to meditate day and night on His word, read Joshua 1:8,This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. That sounds pretty good to me, but better yet, it is the only way to have good success by the word of God. God said, He would not hold any good thing back from us, read Psalm 84:11-12, For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusts in you. Let us think about that, the person who trusts in Him ( Jesus), that makes they blessed. God is most interested in what we are like on the inside.He wishes to change us from the inside out.His goal or plan is to make us clean on the inside so that the light of God would shine on the outside.If you are clean in your heart, then the light will automatically shine through you! Paul talks about the importance of having a loving heart. The word says,think about these things, that are good,and honorable for you, read Philippians 4:8,Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Let us pray together for the light of God to shine in us where ever we go, read Psalm 19:14,Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
