MEDITATION PLEASES THE LORD

There is only one way to God and it's through Jesus, but in Jesus, there are many ways to connect with God. One way is through meditation. Meditation is when you intentionally focus on God’s Word, digest it, and allow it to become alive in you. Through this 7-day guide, our goal is that you would walk away understanding the importance of meditation and how you can make meditating on God and His Word a habitual lifestyle.

Meditation from the Bible calls us to focus on God to know Him more, who He is, His Word, and His works. True meditation belongs to the Lord! It was His idea first. We are designed to gaze on Him and His Word, cherish Him, behold Him, worship Him, and love Him. This is what the heavenly beings do as they declare, “Holy, holy, holy,” (Revelation 4:8). True meditation on God and His Word will lead to praise and worship!

God and His Word are inseparable. When you meditate on His Word, you are meditating on Him. John describes this saying, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” (John 1:1-3). Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the One through whom all things were created. Jesus is the Living Word of God, so when you read the words of Jesus, the acts of Jesus, and the life of Jesus, you are meditating on God Himself.

PRAYER

Lord, thank You for Your Word that reveals Your character and draws me closer to You. Holy Spirit, reveal something new to me today, and help me meditate on Your word so that I would know You more. In Jesus’ name, amen.
