Bible Verse of The Day – 3-18-23

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

As we work to wrap this series up, we will do our best to tie together everything that has been discussed this week.

We’ve learned about discernment, prayer, wolves in sheep’s clothing, God’s word, the Holy Spirit and other factors when it comes to guarding our hearts.

The last thing we’d like to talk about today is meditation.

We need to be clear that this is not the kind of meditation that most people refer to, such as transcendental meditation, chanting, etc. This is NOT New Age theology.

We are referring to meditating on God and His word.

Psalm 119:148 (NKJV) 148 My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.

Meditating on the things of God is something that helps us to really grow spiritually. It takes us beyond just reading His word and then forgetting most of what we’ve read.

Spending time meditating on God’s word, and the wonders of God, will help make Him and His word a part of who we are. It will help transform us and shape us.

In turn, this gives us a reservoir that dwells deep within us that we can pull from if He needs us to understand something, or even when we’re discussing certain topics with people.

It is more than just memorizing words by repetition.

Meditating on the things of God gives us a much deeper understanding of Him as a whole.

And all of this strengthens us spiritually, allowing us to better guard our hearts and protect them from the ways of the evil one.

It’s a package, so to speak, that makes us strong, gives us mighty weapons to fight the enemy, and keeps us from falling prey to his many tactics because we learn to recognize them and protect ourselves from them.

We hope you’ve enjoyed this series, and that you better understand the importance of guarding your heart against false teachings.
