Meditations – Musings with Mo

We are living in an afternoon and age the place other people nonetheless ask ‘Can I concentrate to secular song?’ This can be a very legitimate query and will likely be even in many years yet to come and for long run generations. However, it raises an overly fascinating concept for me – what are we meditating on? and what are the issues we’re spending our time serious about

I used to be studying Psalm 1 and it addresses this fairly apparently, a minimum of individually.

"Oh, the fun of those that don't apply the recommendation of the depraved, or stand round with sinners, or sign up for in with mockers."

• How will we get the recommendation of the depraved if we don’t seem to be round with them, to meditate at the issues they are saying. Additionally, we will have to watch out that we take a look at the issues we meditate on does it deliver pleasure. Does it deliver peace, does it educate you persistence? Those are some telltale issues and indicators to be careful for in regards to the issues we make a selection to meditate upon.

"However they satisfaction within the legislation of the Lord, meditating on it day and night time."

• Somewhat than pondering or considering on issues that don’t deliver pleasure quite we will have to discover ways to enjoyment of God’s Phrase. We do that by way of meditating on it day and night time. Have you ever ever heard, the extra you behold one thing the extra you turn into that factor. The extra we give ourselves to finding out, serious about, studying, talking God’s Phrase, the extra we will be able to revel in it and it’ll turn into the satisfaction of our lives.

"They're like timber planted alongside the riverbank, bearing fruit each and every season. Their depart by no means wither, they usually prosper in all they do."

• Our meditations resolve the process our lives. We’re fruitful and stay filthy rich on account of what we dinner party on. Out of our stomach shall go with the flow rivers of dwelling waters. We pour out what has been poured into us. We’re by no means stuck unaware or bamboozled as a result of our Heavenly Father who we permit to steer us isn’t stuck unaware as neatly. As they are saying ‘Lion no dey born goat‘, so on account of our heritage via Jesus Christ, we’re folks that turn into conscious about occasions and seasons just like the sons of Issachar.

"However now not the depraved! They're like nugatory chaff, scattered by way of the wind."

• So as to steer clear of being just like the depraved, we will have to steer clear of depraved tactics and steer clear of pondering, seeing or talking depraved issues. We don’t want our lives to be noticed as nugatory or for our lives to be scattered by way of the wind and directionless. So we will have to make a selection what we meditate on.

"They'll be condemned on the time of judgement. Sinners will haven't any position some of the godly."

• The folks we commune and fellowship with will even resolve our meditations. The bible says “Don’t group up with those that are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a spouse with wickedness? How can gentle reside with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Like friends with like. We would possibly wish to take inventory of our environment every now and then and evaluation the puts that we inhabit.

"For the Lord watches over the trail of the godly, however the trail of the depraved ends up in destruction."

• Finally, as we meditate on God’s Phrase, we all know His tactics and that manner may also be hidden below His shadow and coverage. We will be able to settle for His steerage and instructions and His looking at over us and our lives won’t ever be in useless. Somewhat, He directs our paths accordingly main us into the brilliant and hopeful long run that He has for us (Jeremiah 29:11).
