WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  MEDITATION

The world will tell you that meditation is sitting quietly and clearing your mind of everything. Yoga is popular, but what they don’t tell you is that yoga means yoke. You are literally tying yourself to a spirit. This kind of meditation is not anything a Christian should be doing. For everything God created the enemy has tried to counterfeit.

We are told in the scriptures to meditate on the things of God. His goodness, mercy, grace and love. We are to meditate on the scriptures, not clear our minds to allow room for the enemy.

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.

David asked God to search his words and the meditation his heart to see if they were acceptable. We too need to live as though God is searching our hearts and analyzing our words to see if they are acceptable. This should be our thought and prayer every morning that our thoughts and words are found pleasing to God.

What does meditation mean in the Christian sense of the word. It means that our heart concentrates on God. We ponder his truth and allow his word to fill our lives with actions that are pleasing in his sight. We want to be obedient to the word.

Peace will wash over us as we sit quietly thinking about his word. Meditating on the word is an act of worship.

Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Our delight should be the word of God and we should meditate on it all the time. Before reading the word, we should ask God to meet us in his word. Then read a passage, take time to look up words that you are not 100% sure about the meaning. Read the passage and then read it out loud. Ponder the meaning of the passage. It is about spending time in God’s presence, listening for his voice and direction.

I Tim 4:13-15  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

Paul told the young minister to not neglect the gift that was in him. In other words, the gift of the Holy Ghost. He told him to pay attention to reading and encouraging others. Then he instructed him to meditate on them and give himself fully.

We too need to give ourselves wholly to meditating on the things of God. Spending time with him is always a good investment of our time. It is our duty as children of God to draw close to him and learn how to meditate on the goodness of God.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
