Memorize to Meditate

Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law he meditates day and night.”

 

God gives many promises of blessing for those who keep His word. meditating-sunset.jpgMeditating Scripture is one of the ways we stay on the word of God. But, before we can meditate, we need to memorize verses upon verses so that when we meditate, we just pull out from our brain’s compact flash drive the verses we have memorized. Meditation isn’t necessarily just an irrelevant religious practice. We can do it when we feel down, when we feel discouraged, when we feel scared and just meditate on the verse that is appropriate for the moment.

What verses have you memorized lately that you can pull out when you need God’s word?
