What are you meditating on?
God designed us as meditative creatures.
We are always turning things over in our minds.
The question is: what are you meditating on?
Too often it's
our fears or anxieties.
And two particularly dangerous traps for men are:
1) Resentments—nursing old wounds and offenses.
2) Lust—letting the imagination linger where it shouldn’t.
When this becomes our habit, it shapes us.
We grow bitter, restless, and spiritually weak.
Yet God directs us to something better.
Psalm 1
describes the blessed man as the one who delights in the law of the Lord and meditates on it day and night.
Instead of being tossed around, he becomes like a tree—rooted, strong, and fruitful.
Paul echoes this in Philippians 4:8:
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure… think about these things.”
Your meditations are not neutral.
They are forming you, shaping who you become--for better or for worse.
By the grace of God, you can put your
meditative powers to a constructive purpose.
Do that, and you won't just avoid what brings you down, you'll position yourself for blessing.
