Psalm 1: Blessed is the man who does now talk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
When I read this, one question comes to mind. "How do I follow this example?". I began to think about the word "meditate". Meditating is a great way to retain the Word. But how do I learn to mediate in a world so full of distractions? For me, meditating on the Word often necessitates turning off the radio and TV while I do housework or drive. Silence gives me freedom to mull over what I've studied and pray it into my life or the lives of others.
Meditating on the Word also means I will have spiritual "meat" to offer to others around me. What I have studied and meditated on - developed in my own mind - may be the exact insight that others need.
Meditation Builders:
- How do you manage to reflect on what you've learned from Scripture when you're constantly battling distractions?
- What is something you've recently learned from God's Word that you might share with your friends/family/loves ones this week?
