The American Heritage Dictionary (2021) defines Meditation as:
Psalm 19:14 (NASB) - May the words of my mouth and the meditation of
my heart Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Joshua 1:8 (NASB) -
"To engage in focused thought on scriptural passages or on particular doctrines or mysteries of a religion, especially Christianity."
There are a lot of Scripture relating to the importance of meditation on God's Word. here are a few for your consideration:Psalm 19:14 (NASB) -
my heart Be acceptable in Your sight,
Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
Joshua 1:8 (NASB) -
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you
may be careful to do according to all that is written in it;
for then you will make your way prosperous, and then
you will achieve success.
Philippians 4:8 (NASB) -
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever
is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there
is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think
about these things.
To wrap this up in a smaller package I present the need for us to carefully consider Scripture; the Word of God that gives us insight into God's most holy place. Dwell in His presence quietly and consider His instruction (doctrine). If there is anything good that God has done then consider those things. Focus your thought on the things of God both day and night and we will prosper. Prosperity is not in riches or in getting what we want. Prosperity, to me, is a sound mind intently set on the goal of Christ and our eternal hope.
