Thought For The Week 13 February 2022

Meditating on the Word.

“We’re going to meditate. Our minds naturally think habitually. We ruminate on ourselves, our offenses, fears, cravings, jealousies, resentments & how everybody’s let us down. But what if we formed a habit of thinking on the Lord’s words?” – Beth Moore

We live in a time of great anxiety and worry.  There are things happening in our world that have turned our lives inside out and upside down. Sometimes that brings out the best in us. Sometimes it brings out the worst. How can we escape the trap of our own thoughts? This week I found these words online, and they touched me deeply.

“Meditation drives motivation. We’re motivated by our meditations, whether positively or negatively. If we want to be free, we’ve got to start by thinking on what we’re     thinking on.”

I wonder if you will join me in finding morsels of scripture to meditate on. To allow God’s Spirit to work through the Word to calm our restless souls, and to continue to the work of salvation in our hearts, in our minds, and in our lives.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 8:38-39
