Psalm 1:2 - "But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night."
Picture a chef preparing a piece of meat, ensuring it's soaked in rich, flavorful marinade. The longer it sits, the deeper the flavors penetrate, enhancing the dish. In the same vein, our hearts and souls can be deeply imbued with God’s Word.
Meditation isn’t a fleeting glance at scripture but a prolonged immersion. Through self-control and dedication, we immerse ourselves in God's teachings, allowing His wisdom to permeate our being. This makes us tender and ready for His divine purposes, ensuring that we not only know His Word but live it.
Reflection Questions:
- How often do you immerse yourself in the Word of God, letting its truths marinate your soul?
- What changes can you make to your daily routine to allow deeper meditation on God's law?
Morning Prayer:
Heavenly Father, immerse my soul in Your teachings. Let Your Word marinate my heart, making me tender and flavorful for Your divine purpose. Amen.
