II.Beth - Psalm 119:8-16 Ever heard the saying, “You are what you eat?” Ingesting the pure Word brings purity of soul as Christ changes us from the inside out. Thoughts, desires and mindset are renovated to become new thoughts, new pursuits, a new way of life. How can we remain pure in a sex obsessed culture? By using the word as insulation within the chambers of the heart. Here we begin to engage the practice of spiritual discipline namely, meditation. But isn’t meditation a bad thing? Don’t people get all spooky and chant stuff or whisper the same words over and over again? That definition of “meditation” is the devils creation - to discourage people from finding out the inherent power in quiet communion with God.
Meditation is simply the thinking on, musing on or chewing over what we learn or desire to learn more fully.
Walking, exercising – wherever we are and whatever activity we are engaged in, our spirits can still be focused on Christ. Still, one should always make room for alone time with the Savior to fill up on the Bread of Life.
