Nisan 11
MY MEDITATION
“Let the words of MY
mouth and the meditation of MY heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer.” (Ps 19:15 ISR, emphasis mine)
Noah Webster defines “meditation” as “the turning or revolving of
a subject in the mind; serious contemplation”[1]. The question is, therefore, what are we meditating on? What
do we spend our time thinking on, rehearsing in our minds, daydreaming as the
clouds drift across the sky? Do we
encourage ourselves, as David did, in our Elohim (1Sam 30:6)? Do we remind ourselves of the faithfulness of
our ABBA Father to His Word, that He watches over His Word to perform it (Isa
14:24; Jer 1:12; Ezl 12:25)? What are we depositing in our hearts, what is our greatest treasure?
“The good
person produces good things from the store of good in his heart, while the evil
person produces evil things from the store of evil in his heart. For his mouth speaks what OVERFLOWS from his
heart.” (Luke 6:45 CJB, emphasis mine
What comes out of our
mouths – the words that we speak – reveals what our thought life is, whether it
is healthy or not. A life victorious in Messiah Yeshua begins first with
the thought patterns in our minds; are we rehearsing victories or defeats?
There are an estimated 7700 promises contained in the Word of Elohim for us to
meditate on, to contemplate, to chew on, if you will, like a dog with a
bone. Each individual promise is
victory, it is life, and it is indisputable
– more sure than anything that you can touch or feel, for they are all signed with the blood of our Messiah
King.
“This book of
the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, and YOU shall meditate on it by day
and by night, so that you shall be on guard to do according to all that is
written in it. For then you shall prosper your way, and then you shall act
wisely.” (Jos 1:8 JPS, emphasis mine)
“My
mouth shall speak wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.” (Ps 49:3 Amp)
