Psalm 119:11 - "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."
A slow simmered stew allows each ingredient to release its full flavor, resulting in a rich and wholesome dish. Similarly, when we immerse ourselves in God's Word, stewing in its wisdom and promises, we find richness that fortifies our spirit.
Merely skimming scripture may provide transient solace, but deep meditation internalizes its truth, arming us against life's adversities. With self-control, we can resist the fleeting allure of distractions and instead steep our hearts in the transformative power of the Word, guarding us against sin and equipping us for every challenge.
Reflection Questions:
- How often do you take the time to deeply meditate on a scripture, allowing it to seep into your heart?
- What strategies can you employ to stew more profoundly in God's Word?
Morning Prayer:
God of Wisdom, draw me deeper into Your Word. Let me savor its truth, allowing it to shape my thoughts, guide my steps, and fortify my heart against sin. Amen.
