Joshua 1:8 (The Message)
And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going then you’ll succeed.
“The central element of the biblical view of meditation is obedience. This is a marked contrast to the various forms of meditation in many religions around the world. The biblical stress is always on ethical changer, character transformation, and obedience to the Word of the Lord. On the one hand we are called to silence, to stillness, (but) on the other hand we are called to action, to right behavior, to obedience to the will and ways of God. Hearing and obeying.”* Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer (Ps. 19:14). Do you lean more toward action or toward silence and solitude with the Lord? Live in balance. You need both.
