MEDITATE

What do you meditate on the most? You know what we meditate on the most is what is foremost in our hearts. We meditate on the things of the heart.

meditate: to ponder, to consider or examine attentively, or deliberately

What are you pondering? What are you giving all of your attention to? What are you deliberately thinking on?

We should be meditating on the word of God. We should be deliberately thinking on what His word says, and reading His word, and giving our attention to His word. If we would do this, then we would not be worrying over things we should not be worrying over. We would know what His word says about worrying.

Matt. 6 v 25....Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?....

Matt. 6 v 34....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow for tomorow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own troubles.....

Matt. 6 v 27...Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?....

Matt. 6 v 33....But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you...

Then

Phillipians 4 v 8...Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.....

So in other words, if you are worrying over your health, your finances, your relationships, your household chores, your job, your yard work, whatever it is you are meditating on, STOP! And remember this little saying. (I saw it somewhere the other day, can't remember where).

How easy it is to remember the things we like to forget.

Well, let's make it easier to remember the things the LORD would have us to remember, and forget all those things that He has already forgotten. AMEN! Quit beating yourself up, and meditate on the good promises He gives us in His word, and let those be the things we meditate on the most. AMEN!
