“So… you must be starving after that fast…jump down from here, if you say you c are who you are, it’ll be fine…Hmm! It kinda seems that you might really be what you say you are…I can give you anything you want here on Earth….”
On Earth; See? Limited, Hallelujah!!!
All spiritual truth either comes from a divine source or a demonic source. And we know that God speaks truth and reveals truth and Satan speaks a lie and is a deceiver and so it is critical that we be able to discern the difference. God’s truth must be guarded very, very carefully. It is always under attack. It is relentlessly under attack. – John MacArthur
According to Psalm 1:1-3 a person who meditates regularly on the Word of God will be like a healthy, thriving and fruitful tree which is planted by the rivers of water. So, if you want to be spiritually healthy, strong and fruitful, make it a habit to meditate on verses of Scripture!
To meditate on a verse is to personally reflect on, ponder, or think deeply about it. It is sometimes likened to the way a cow eats grass. First it will bite away as much grass as it can from the ground, mouthful after mouthful. When its stomach is full, the cow will stop ingesting any more grass. Instead, it will just spend hour after hour chewing the cud. When a cow does this, it is said to be ruminating. It brings up some of the grass from its stomach into a part of its mouth called the cud. Then it will chew the cud until the grass breaks down. The finely chewed grass is then swallowed into another chamber of the stomach for further digestion and assimilation.
Similarly, when we read or memorise Scripture verses, we are like cows biting mouthfuls of grass and swallowing them down. But the full beneficial value of the verse will not be extracted and enjoyed until we spend some time meditating on them, little by little, digesting it, and assimilating it into our souls.
Meditation is both a mental and a spiritual process. It involves the mind as well as the heart. You need to find a time when you can free your mind from all distracting thoughts that will cause it to wander away from your meditation. Some of us may be able to meditate while traveling on the bus or MRT. Some can even meditate while taking a shower or a walk. Others may need to get away from the crowds and be alone, perhaps in a park or quiet place. In Genesis 26:43 we are told that Isaac “went out to meditate in the field at the eventide.” There are three useful steps to meditating on Scripture.
