Meditation Engages the Mind!
It’s a common misapprehension in Western thinking that meditation involves emptying one’s mind.
In fact, the opposite is the case when it comes to biblical meditation.
The person described as “blessed” in Psalm 1 is someone who takes the Word of God and engages busily with it. A more commonly understood word for “meditate,” in this context, is “to ponder” or “to reflect.”
As a person ponders the wonderful truths of God’s Word–turning them over and over in his or her mind and reflecting on them–the reality of their meaning is able to become clearer and more applied to that person.
We live in a busy age of superficial sound-bytes and instant gratification. Often we need to slow down. A good cup of coffee in hand, and a well-thought-through book of Bible-based meditations before us, and we are poised to get better in contact with spiritual and practical realities that are before us each day.
