What Do You Meditate On?

One who is righteous meditates on the law of the Lord and thinks about it constantly. Psalm 1. He is not preoccupied with the situations and does not endlessly strive with his Maker. No, he meditates on the law of the Lord and on what these laws can accomplish in his life. His roots go deep down into the fountains of God, he draws up the water of life and bears good fruit. Even if heat comes, the righteous one does not fear. He knows that everything works together for his salvation and for the very best. Now the great salvation that Jesus came with can also take place in him. Whatever he does will prosper. He goes from victory to victory.

We are tempted by our own desires. That is why it is so important to take heed to ourselves. What are our thoughts occupied with? Is it God’s word or is it situations that we continually encounter? Often, there are many troubled thoughts in a person’s mind. But just think that we can identify this as a temptation! Why do we become so restless and want to constantly talk about different situations? It’s a temptation. This is when it is vital to receive the word of God with meekness and allow it to divide between soul and spirit. Now the thoughts and intents of the heart are to be put in their rightful place. Even though I meant well, there are many things that the Holy Spirit wants to teach me. He confronts me with the truth about myself. Think to love the truth about yourself. Then there is a great opportunity to partake in a greater salvation. In this way, we progress and grow in God. The virtues of Christ grow forth and we bear fruit unceasingly. The ungodly are not so. The wind blows them away. The situations they encounter do not lead to salvation, but to them becoming offended. Therefore, they do not remain in the church of the living God. The Lord knows the path of the just, and it leads straight into God’s eternal kingdom, where Jesus Himself awaits them and welcomes them saying: “Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Matt. 25:34.
