My meditation of Him shall be sweet!

This is the declaration of the Psalmist David as he spoke of the Lord's greatness. He blessed the Lord and ascribed greatness to Him. He exponded on His majesty and honor, His splendid nature and faithfulness to His creation. He then declared that He would sing praise to God as long as he lives. He says that his meditation of God will be sweet and that he will be glad in the
Lord.

Meditation

God has called all us to live and enjoy His abundant life. One of the tools that God has given us to preserve and practice the abundant life is meditation. As in natural, so in the spiritual, the right foods when eaten sustains us physically, so the right spiritual conditioning will strengthen us spiritually, guaranteeing our spiritual success.

The art of meditation calls for discipline. It is a setting apart of oneself to get close to God. Someone said whatever you pay attention to will grow. My time spent with God causes my relationship with him to grow. I will have greater awareness and knowledge of Him.

What does the word meditation mean?

To meditate has many meanings. It means to plot,, to muse, ponder, reflect, devote, think about.

Subjects of my meditation

For meditation to be successful we should know who or what to meditate on. We should meditate on God's greatness, His word and His works.

When should I meditate

Anytime and anywhere, but it is better in a quiet secluded place, or in place where you can enjoy nature.

Results

In pslam 1:2-3 and Joshua 1:8-9 realize that our prosperity in life and the key to living the abundant life is directly related to meditation on God's word. So us let not forget to set aside time daily to meditate.
