MCGI Topic Review | Christian Meditation

https://youtu.be/uee9R1872p8?si=o7FZzDatiauIXWfE One of the spiritual practices through which the believers train their minds to focus on God, His Word, and His goodness is Christian meditation. The most intriguing information I acquired in this topic review by MCGI is that Christian meditation is a process of filling the mind, rather than emptying it with teachings of God. It has been a serene and purposeful way of developing spiritually. In the study of this topic, I saw the importance of meditation to every believer who desires to get closer to God. The Word of God is the point where Christian meditation begins. We are advised to read, contemplate and meditate on what God has said. In the Bible, it is stated in the book of Joshua 1:8 that this book of the law will not leave out of thy mouth, but on thy shalt meditate in it day and night. This demonstrates that meditation is something that we should incorporate in our lives. Whenever we are meditating, we take time to ponder over verses read. It assists us to learn more about God and obey His will. Among other things I learned is the fact that meditation is what gives the heart peace. In numerous occasions, life can be stressful and bewildered. However, when we cogitate upon the Scriptures we are comforted. Psalm 119: 105 writes, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. It implies that we are directed by the Word of God and meditation is one way to make it visible. As an individual, I personally become more relaxed and motivated when I meditate upon Bible verses. I also learned through the teaching of MCGI that meditation enables us to shun sin. Whenever we contemplate a lot about the commandments of God, we are reminded about the need to live a holy life. It is written in psalm 119:11 that, Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. It is through meditation that we can remember that we have Gods Word in our hearts to avoid taking the wrong path. It moulds our minds and behaviour. The second lesson of value that has been learned is that Christian meditation can make the connection with God strong. As we meditate we speak to God in our hearts and we hear Him. It is spending time with Him hushpuppies. I was informed that meditation could be conducted anywhere: in a room, in nature or even on the travel. This is aimed at concentrating the mind on God. Psalm 1: 2 says, blessed man is he that meditates in the law of the Lord day and night. This demonstrates the importance of meditation. I also found out that meditation aids in spiritual development. The longer we take to meditate the better we comprehend the character of God. It educates us on patience, obedience and love. In some cases, God gives deeper meaning to Scripture when we take time to contemplate. Meditation opens our hearts in order to receive wisdom. To sum up, Christian meditation is a very potent practice. It enables us to learn more about God, gain peace, prevent sin, and become spiritual. In my opinion, meditation on the Word of God should be done by all Christians on a regular basis. Based on this topic review of MCGI, I am inspired to meditate more earnestly. It is an easy and yet effective method of building my faith and walking with God.
