God Calling....Meditate on His word.

I watched a film the other night called God is calling. I wish it was that easy just to pick up the phone and hear His voice.

But God is trying to talk to us but it is through his Word. So if  we will just listen to what God is telling us through His scripture we will find more peace in life.

I am finding this out for real. So from today I am going to take notes of the ones God is highlighting for me. 

It's so funny every morning I meditate on His Word. I have an app on my phone which I listen too and had to laugh when I read today's message fro the UCB Word For Today......

Psalm 119:15 …I will meditate on you precepts, and contemplate Your ways (NKJV).

Meditating with Jesus

Thursday 19th May 2022

'I will meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.' Psalm 119:15 NIV

Another word for meditation is rumination. Rumination is what a cow does. The cow eats grass, chews all she can, and then swallows it. It sits in one of her stomachs for a while, and then a little later, she burps it up - with renewed flavour. The cow chews on it some more and swallows it again. This process continues in all four stomachs. That's rumination. The cow is pulling every ounce of nourishment from the grass. And meditation is simply thought digestion.

Meditation isn't putting your mind in neutral and thinking about nothing. On the contrary, it's thinking seriously about what you're reading. For example, you dwell on one verse of Scripture and ask, 'What does this mean for my life?' You talk to yourself and God about it. The Bible says this: 'Keep your minds on whatever is true, pure, right, holy, friendly, and proper. Don't ever stop thinking about what is truly worthwhile and worthy of praise...And God, who gives peace, will be with you' (Philippians 4:8-9 CEV). Notice that we are to ponder different categories of things and, by implication, to avoid thinking about the opposite kind of things.

Colossians 3:16 (CEV) says, 'Let the message about Christ completely fill your lives'. You need to spend time every day - a minimum of ten to fifteen minutes where you sit down, read a portion of the Bible, and think deeply about what you have just read. Then talk to the Lord about it in prayer. That's the starting point for spiritual change and growth.

So let's see what comes up today……

*Recovery Bible….119:9-16 

Obedience to God's Word produces wholeness; it seems only logical that we should do all we can to follow it. This is a significant part of seeking God's will for us. In the Bible, God has left clear guidelines for how he expects us to live. He has also promised that he will help us to carry out his will if we only ask him. Studying and applying God's Word should become a joyful experience that will implant God's truth firmly in our minds and hearts.
