Scripture Reading: Genesis 24:61-67
Devotional: “And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming” (V. 63)
Anytime we create time to be in the presence of the Lord, we should prepare at the same time to meditate. Meditation is an act of chewing the cur or ruminating over information to get the best out of it. It is an act of looking at information with an inquisitive mind. This is trying to locate the real meaning or trying to locate solution through the information.
The Bible tells us to always meditate on the word of God. (1 Timothy 4:15; Joshua 1:8). It is so, because in the word are the solution to every situations. It is as we meditate in the word of God that the Holy Spirit begins to help us to connect scripture to scripture to see the solution to our situations. We read also that Isaac also practiced this, which he must have learn from his father (Genesis 13:14-17).
Friend, to enjoy the presence of God, you must learn to meditate in His presence. God will be showing you things that your mind cannot fully comprehend and it will take meditation to understand them. This is a major thing that happens whenever we are in the presence of God. His words are deep mysteries; it will take a deep thinking heart to understand them. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to always give room to your word in my mind.
