Pleasing!

Psalm 19: 14

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

A.W. Tozier once said… “Listen to no man, who fails to listen to God.”

There’s a group of us from church—70 of us in total who are attempting to listen to God’s still small voice through the meditation of scripture.

Meditation is said by many Bible scholars, to be the lost art of discipline in the Christian faith.

Even some of the 70 who signed up, might have already disregarded this rare opportunity.

Some didn’t think it was all that important to sign up in the first place.

Could it be that we’re too busy to sit for 30 minutes per day, and listen for God’s voice to speak through His Word?

Do we have life so figured out by now, that we don’t need God in the equation any longer?

Mediation is a function between the mind and the heart.

It is what we think in our hearts, and it is something we each do every day.

Whether we realize it or not, we all spend a large portion of our time in some form of meditation.

The thing is, what we meditate on, may or may not be worthwhile.

The fact is, what we habitually think upon, might actually be unhealthy for our Christian growth.

I think maybe Tozier was on to something. I’m not so sure I want to hear anything from a person—opinion or otherwise, who does not desire to hear it from God first...
