“I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.”
Psalm 119:99
To the one who is unfamiliar with the spiritual realm, it is peculiar to hear of another person meditating on the Word. Or simply spending an ample amount of time seeking God’s direction through sincere meditation.
But I give glory to God that you and I have been lifted by the Holy Spirit to peek into the greater realm of Glory even in the land of the living.
Take for example the difference in aura of someone who meditates in the natural sense. A yoga instructor, or ballet expert, or a practiced magician. The one thing that separates the air of these individuals with the common person, is the degree of meditation that each gives to the craft.
There is a noticeable calm, focus, or discipline about those that meditate. There is a visible distinct stronger sense of power and control within the meditating individual.
Meditation changes things.
And for you and me, in the walk with the Most High, meditation changes everything!
Don’t you know that meditation mediates between the natural and spiritual? Are you not aware that your devoted time to meditate on God’s word is what elevates you into His Holy presence? How do you know when God is present if your spirit is not opened to receive Him?
Friend, this is what meditation is all about.
Often times, we hear preachers and spiritual leaders go on and on about studying the Word and ‘spending time’ with God. I have come to find that this is the realm of meditation.
When we bring ourselves into a place of attentiveness, when we begin to control the reception that comes through our senses, this is when we are able to leave the realm of the natural and rise into the realm of the spiritual.
The scripture tells us to keep our mind on higher things, on the things of God. Reading a book might be an attempt for some to keep their mind or interest on higher things, but it is the meditation on what has been absorbed that elevates the mind to remain at that higher realm of understanding.
There are visions awaiting us through meditation. There are assignments waiting on us through meditation. There is power waiting to be released through meditation.
So why then are we not eager to be mediated by meditation? Why do we continue to ignore wisdom standing at the gates of meditation?
