This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe 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. - Joshua 1:8
There is true value and riches in meditation. From a Christian perspective, meditation on the Word of God is a powerful practice in our daily lives. The word "meditate" comes from the same root as our word "medicine" - Meditation is a way to literally think ourselves to health. When we meditate on the scriptures we ponder on them, savoring them, ruminating and musing over every word, every jot and title, allowing them to speak to us, wash over us, transform us.
For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart - Hebrews 4:12
....be transformed by the renewing of your mind.... - Romans 12:2
The scriptures have the power to penetrate deep into our hearts and in that deep place they "discern", they critique, our thoughts, ideas and concepts - aligning them with revealed truth and quickening these internal conversations of ours. From this place of inner health and healing there arises a gushing of life that bursts forth and manifests itself as a business idea, or a new ministry concept - a manifestation of a coming Kingdom being reflected from a deep well of treasure within.
