Nowadays there is a lot of talk about the benefits of meditation. In fact, my word is for the year: meditation. However, no meditation. I want to grow in meditating on God’s Word. As American Christians we have become lazy in knowing the Word of God. This must change! I am excited to share with you why we have to Meditate about the Word of God. Medition about the Word of God.
Is meditation Bibles?
There are many religions that practice meditation. The health benefits are even advertised. But as Christians we have to practice meditation? The short answer is a resounding “Yes!” But We must be careful to meditate on the Scripture such as what it is discussed in the Bible. The purpose of Christian meditation does not empty our mind but fill it instead. When we meditate on the Bible, we meditate on God’s thoughts.
What does the word “meditation” in the Bible mean?
First let’s talk about what meditation even means. We often think that when we meditate about something, we think about it deeply; Think about it. Consider, reflect and consider there are other major synonyms. There are actually several Greek and Hebrew words that were translated into “meditating” or “meditation” in the Bible, but sometimes those same words were also translated into other English words such as “speak”, “utter”, “prayer” or even “complaining”. So by meditating on Scripture, we work out the meaning, reflect on it, speak it, pray. Wow!
What does the Bible say about meditation?
have found a lot Meditate about the Word of God Verses. David, a man in God’s own heart, wrote many of these verses in the psalms. First, let’s look at Joshua Bible in the Old Testament. The Lord talks to Joshua after taking over the people of Israel.
“This book of the law will not deviate from your mouth, but you will meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to everything that is written in it. Because then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will be good success.” Joshua 1: 8 (ESV)

“Blessed is the man who does not run into the guys, wicked,
Neither stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; But his joy is in the law From the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. ‘Psalm 1: 1-2
“I will think about all your work and meditate about your powerful deeds.” Psalm 77:12
“I remember the days of yesteryear; I meditate about everything you have done; I think about the work of your hands.” Psalm 143: 5
Psalm 119 is a huge praise to God about the Word of God. I would greatly encourage you to read and study it. Here are just a few of the many verses in that chapter who talk about the importance of meditation or thinking about the words of God.
