I Meditate on Your Precepts...

"I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways." Psalm 119:15

  What joy is ours when we meditate on the precepts of God and consider His ways. Webster’s Dictionary defines meditate in this way, "to contemplate or reflect on for a period of time" and the word consider, "to think carefully about." When we contemplate and reflect on the laws that God gives us, we realize that they give us direction and share with us God’s wisdom. For the Father, above all others, knows where the road we are upon leads. His direction will be exactly what we need to help us to arrive at our destination. When we think carefully about God’s ways, we will find ourselves high up in the mountaintop and assured of reaching our destination, despite the sneering of the world. Let us this day with joy in our hearts meditate on His precepts and consider His ways, for they are good.

Lord, your ways are higher than our ways and your paths far better than our paths. Help us, Lord, to remember that you know what is best for us. Help usto walk in your paths. Let us consider what a privilege it is to walk with Jesus in your way. Keep us from wandering down the pathways that we may find, keep us in your narrow way that we may reach its end, finding you. Amen
