Meaningful Meditation
Pastor W.F Kumuyi
BIBLE TEXT:
"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou may observe to do according to all that is written therein" (Joshua 1:8).
Meditation is a spiritual exercise quite definite and purposeful as a business engagement. In meditation, we apply spiritual principles and facts to ourselves as God's children. In his book, Answers to Prayer, George Mueller said, "Through reading the word of God, and especially through meditation on the word of God, the believer becomes more and more acquainted with the nature and character of God, and thus, sees more and more, besides His holiness and justice, what a kind, loving, gracious, merciful, mighty, wise, and faithful Being He is, and, therefore, in his family, difficulty in service, want of a situation or employment, he will repose upon the ability of God to help him." As a youth, you can become a friend of God like Abraham if you can daily read, meditate on and pray in the word of God. Be silent before God, and His Spirit will reveal things to you; He will give guidance and assurance when in confusion. Habakkuk was meditating when God told him, "Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables" (Habakkuk 2:2).
Challenge: Take time: Give God time to reveal Himself to you.
Prayer: Help me to be silent before you, oh God.
Quote: Be silent before God to reveal things to you
Bible Reading in one Year: Habakkuk 2:1, 2
