Meditate On All The Lord Has Done?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who meditate on all you have done. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Joshua 1:8 (ESV) says,
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”
In Psalm 143:1-6 (ESV) the psalmist, David, is pleading with God for mercy and refers to meditating.
“Hear my prayer, O Lord;
give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
For the enemy has pursued my soul;
he has crushed my life to the ground;
he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
Therefore my spirit faints within me;
my heart within me is appalled.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all that you have done;
I ponder the work of your hands.
I stretch out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land. Selah”
Ever feel like David? Has the enemy pursued your soul? Has he crushed your life to the ground? Has he made you sit in darkness like those long dead? Respond as David did. Meditate. Ponder the works of God’s hands.
