Josh 1:8 Study this Book of the Law continually. Meditate on it day and night so you may be sure to obey all that is written in it. Only then will you succeed.
Meditation is like rumination – mulling something over, again, and again, again. We ALL meditate – it’s a matter of WHAT we meditate on. Do I meditate on other people’s words and actions, rehearsing over and over again in my mind slights and offenses? Do I mull over things that worry me or fret about things I fear? Or do I focus my mind on what God says? Meditation on the Word brings peace. Isaiah 26:3: You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.
So true, Carol, so true. Thanks for the reminder.
