Psalm 119:15-16

I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.


Heavenly Father,

To meditate is to take your word from the mind and reflect it upon the heart,
Where your voice can be heard to bring new light, as the mind and heart are two worlds apart.

Your laws can be understood on a mental level when read from the head,
But when they are meditated upon the depths of understanding becomes spirit fed.

If your laws were easily understood in the physical realm we wouldn't dis-obey,
But our minds misinterpret and manipulate them and therefore we miss what you say.

Your laws are not designed to hurt us in any shape or form along our way,
They are there to lead us to our heart, to live without sin and not to stray.

What punishment you bring about for my offenders you also apply to me should I offend,
and being true to you keeps us within the law and it is not something that we can pretend.

If we live by your laws from our interpretation and from our head,
punishment it will bring,
Where as meditating on your word from the heart brings joy and your Glory we do sing.

I am not always correct in my thinking and don't always get the lesson the first time around,
But when I stop thinking so much and just meditate on your word, solutions can be found.

I pray that I always listen and meditate on what it is that I have heard,
To ensure that I am always guided in the right direction by your Holy word.

God Bless,
Gina
