THE POWER OF MEDITATING ON GOD'S WORD

If you've never meditated perhaps you will think its too difficult; you will think its only something monks, mystics or gurus do,  reciting mantras in a lotus position. Answer this, do you know how worry? or have you ever been worried about anything? Okay, then you know how to meditate, because meditating is just:
1) Thinking deeply and continuously about something;
2) Memorizing it;
3) Letting it take root;
4) Owning it until it becomes a life force within you
The point isn't how much scripture you memorize, but what happens to you in the process. Meditating on God's word, clarifies, corrects, enriches and equips you by making you think different thoughts than if you were watching TV, talking on the phone or in the shopping mall.
Jesus once asked His listeners: 'why do you keep on saying I am your Lord, when you refuse to do what I say (Luke 6:46CEV). Good question! The people knew the truth but they weren't ready to act upon it. David said, 'thy word have I his in mine hear that I might not sin against you"(Psalms 119:11). Meditating on God's word will cure the following in your life:
a) It will cure moral and spiritual weakness
b) It will cure the life without focus
c) it will cure lack of intimacy with God
d) it will cure chronically weak faith that keeps making you miss out on God's best for your life
So dust off your Bible, crack it open and ask, 'Lord, what are you saying to me? Then meditate on His answer.

Prayer Point

Father, open my eyes so I can behold wondrous things from your word in Jesus name
