Meditating on his Word

[bobo81]

When I wake up, I read and meditate on his words and commandments. Wonderful.

Than I get to work where the environment changes and my mind is so set on the work that it is hard to keep strong thoughts on what I just read.

How do you guys do it?

My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh. - Proverbs 4:20-22

I even carry around some verses with me, but again its very difficult.

I don't think it's appreciated at work, but I take my Bible and study notes with me!

Hehe, my brother and dad are not quite sure what to think, during morning break and lunch, I get out the Bible, concordance, notepad and pen and off I go.

I have to confess to even standing reading the Bible whilst doing my work. You'd think it would interfere, but it doesn't, I have actually made less mistakes, go figure.

I even used to in my military time, carry my Bible in my burgen, it was just as necessary to have my Bible as it was to have my mess tins.

But I think I tend to take things to the extreme!!

I sit cross legged and just do deep breathing. I then hear Christ speak to me

Yes.......it's alot easier at home..........but out there in the world?... we dwell on his word from application. Everything that happens we can find something in the Word as referance.

Last week I walk into the break area at work, on Monday, before we get started...........the atmosphere was grim. Ofcoarse I gotta say something........"hey what's up?"..................I hear "It's Monday" or "Same oh (yaknow), different day" I said "This is the beginning of a NEW week........there'shor is alot of new oppertunities this week" also I say "ya only get so many days and then your done, what are you gonna do with this one?"

I could of just avoided everyone and went on my merry litle way but God put these people in my life for some reason.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not gonna get the job done in enough time........well..."I can do all things through Christ who strenthens me"

Take one scripture with you a day..........you keep it close to your heart and mind. Will you need it today? Maybe or maybe you'll need last Thursday scripture.

Keep it simple and always know that in everything, the Word APPLIES. If we walk the Word.........then we'll remember the Word.

Keep it simple and always know that in everything, the Word APPLIES. If we walk the Word.........then we'll remember the Word.

Now that is food for thought!

[NITE OWL]

Keep reading and studying, and after awhile it will become second nature to you.

Remember His commandment's.....Love your God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and to do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

Just remember those and you really can't go wrong.

Take alot of notes. Always take notes.

My notes look like this...

John 3:16...For God so loved...

Matt. 6:9....Lord's prayer...

John 7:24...judging/appearance...

1 Tim. 6:20...Idle talk...

I do a bulk of my reading in the new testament. I pray for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding before I even open the bible. If there's something I don't understand, I make a note of it and go back to it later. You may not get the meaning of a verse on your first reading, don't worry about it. It will come in time if you keep at it.

I get distracted at work all the time, but if you keep your mind on Him you can't go wrong. I even take notes at work. ( What does the bible say about this or what does it say about that ) Then when I get home I search for the answers.

Keep studying and after awhile you'll be able to say "that's right or that's wrong because...". Take it slow and easy. Just keep your mind on Him in all you do and say. Even if you can't quote scripture, don't worry about it. He knows your heart and if your thoughts are on Him and His commandments, He'll never be far from you. If you stumble, get back up. We're not perfect and He knows that.

I'm starting to babble here...sorry.

Just keep Him in your thoughts and treat people the way you want to treated. That's all He really asks of us.

Anyway...Just keep studying, keep it simple, take it slow, always take notes.

You have a nice day.

By closing my eyes

Actually I just takes some moments to think about what I read and how it applies to me.

Meditating on his Word, How do you do it?

Do you know how to "worry"?...you know, when something bad has happened, or you think something bad is about to happen and you worry...which is thinking your fearful, worried thoughts in your mind over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over...

That's how you meditate!

All you have to do is do this with God's promises, and you are meditating God's Word...instead of the lies of the devil.

Worry is satan's counterfeit for meditating God's Word.

Gotta agree with most of that Rockerz. Your wisdom is as wise, as your posted humor is funny. A wise man once was asked by an older woman "How can I meditate? And the wise mans asked "Do you know how to worry? The woman answered "Yes". "Congratulations, said the wise man. You are half way there!"

[other one]

I listen to the word while I drive. I ususlly do 3 to 5 thousand miles a month. I have the KJV on cd and am thinking about moving it to an ipod to make it easier to carry around. I use a small recorder to make notes when I am driving...... can't take notes and drive in city traffic.

Thanx for the feedback guys

Ive thought of actually slipping outside once in a while to recollect my thoughts and daily bread but sometimes it gets so hectic (btw Im a programmer pinned to the computer so my brain is pretty fried at the end lol )

Ive asked the Lord for wisdom and how to balance out my work and meditation so no problemozzz

Btw that audio in the car is a great idea...Ill look into that
