A verse for 4/2/14

4/2/14

As I started out to do this study on meditation I, naturally, went to Google and searched; “Meditation.”  I got all kinds of information. You can get music to meditate by and you can learn about Transcendental Meditation, you can find meditation classes, you can learn chants.

In the 1950s Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who was from India started the Transcendental Meditation. At that time a lot of people thought any form of meditation was something to shun away from, it was almost a cult thing to say that you practice meditation.

The bible encourages us to meditate, but not with a clearing of your mind or getting with your inner self.  No! we are encouraged to meditate on God and His word.

Here is a verse that talks about meditation, that I like. I remember back in the 80s it was a praise song.

Psa 5:1  …. Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.

Psa 5:2  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

Psa 5:3  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Direct your prayer unto Him and meditate on Him.
