Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Meditation on God’s Word
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is Meditation on God’s Word.
Studying the Bible has great value for our faith. The truth of Scripture has a refreshing impact on our soul much like raindrops on dry ground.
That is what we find in Psalm 1, verses 1 through 3: “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither-whatever they do prospers.”
Meditating on God’s Word is not a quick process. It is compared to a cow chewing its cud. We slow down, take time to enjoy the experience, and find nourishment for our soul as we taste and see that the Lord is good.
Meditation on God’s Word is a vital step to a radiant faith that makes a difference in the world.
