MEDITATION

“This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.”
Joshua 1:8
(The Amplified Bible)

Today, reflect on the treasures of God’s Word. Ask God to give your further insight and revelation of a particular passage of His word or a previous meditation. Make time to Engage God through prayerful meditation.

Meditation is a biblical principle. (Read Joshua 1:8; Genesis 24:63; Psalm 1:2; 63:6; 77:12; 119:15; I Timothy 4:15) To meditate means to “to moan, growl, utter, muse, mutter, meditate, devise, plot, speak.” It “is a discipline in which the mind is focused on an object of thought or awareness. It usually involves turning attention to a single point of reference. The practice may engender a higher state of consciousness.”

Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach in the mouth to be chewed for the SECOND TIME. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination, or "chewing the cud". The idiomatic expression “chewing one's cud” means meditating or pondering.

We do not want simply information, but revelation that leads to transformation. James 1:22 says, “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” It is possible to have all the right information and yet not have an intimate relationship with God. (Read ‘Religion or Relationship’).

Today, go back and read a meditation that you have received a second time. See what the Lord will say to you.


Be Blessed!
