Meditation…Living through the Drought

Gods word tells us that Christians can still thrive and bear fruit during a drought, during the hard times. That we can still prosper in everything we do, if we have meditated day and night in God’s Word so that our roots reach deep into out Father’s laws and commands.

Unfortunately, many Christians will wither during these hard times and will be destroyed because of their lack of knowledge of God’s Word. God Himself said: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…}Hosea 4:6. Christians are delivered from drought and hard times in exact proportion to their knowledge of God’s Word…but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.}Prov. 11:9

I believe that meditation means to fix our attention on a particular verse of scripture and turn this verse over and over in our minds, looking at it from every angle. I believe meditation means to “personalize” a verse of scripture – to think deeply how each particular verse applies to our own lives. When we meditate on a verse our thought processes should be something like this:

1. What does this verse of scripture mean?

2. What is God telling me? Exactly how does this apply to my life?

3. What change do I need to make in order to do what God is telling me to do?

4. What am I going to do differently today? This week? This month? During the next year?

Unlike the “meditation” practices of Eastern mysticism, New Age groups, and false religions, which teach you to “empty your mind,” Christians are to meditate by filling our minds with the awesome power of the Word of God. As we meditate more and more on God’s Word, we are brought more and more in touch with our Creator.

Be patient and give it a chance to become a part of your daily lifestyle.

Be the Blessing
