Meditate On God

The scriptural text says, “But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night” (Psalm 1:2). Meditating involves deep thinking and focus for a period of time. To meditate on God’s word means to spend time understanding it. Reading, journaling, notating what he says as you read and listen to him speak to you about his word. There are false religions that encourage their followers to meditate on idol gods or the universe, which is one of God’s creations. Christianity focuses on the creator who is the one and only living God.

There is nobody like him, anywhere. Since we know he is the greatest thing known to man, allotting time specifically to God is essential for the viability of our relationship with him. There are certain ways we can do this, but it takes a desire and a love for God that is the same as our natural desire to eat and sleep.

We have schedules and I get it; we must find a strategic way to get things done. Busy people are hard to catch, but that should not mean that God gets shoved to the side and made a lesser priority.

Matthew 26:40-41 says, “And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

How in the world can we get past our inclination to sleep on state-of-the-art mattresses and top-quality pillows that have been scientifically engineered to provide extremely high levels of comfort as we rest nightly?

Prayer and Meditation on God for Christian believers is essential for their livelihood.

The answer is to not love how the bed makes us feel more than we love God’s presence. Let us forget about ourselves and concentrate on him. What he has to say, we need to hear.
