Practical Discipleship: Meditation

Every Spiritual Discipline is a key to abiding in Christ.

Abiding in Christ is not passive. It is active.

Abiding is like going to a buffet restaurant.

Meditation is one of the ways we eat and drink of Christ and the Father.

Meditation is

Not about nothing

Or doing

But about receiving

Receiving the presence of God.

Meditation is about emptying our mind and heart of everything and filling it with the things of God.

There are 4 things we can focus on in order to do this.

Think of the word STAR.

God is meant to be the STAR of meditation.

1. Scripture

Romans 8:18 ESV

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

2. Testimony

What has God done in your life? What did He do to save you?

3. Attributes

Righteous, good, loving, kind. What are ways this is seen?

4. Record

What are the things God has done in the world? Creation, stories from the bible, etc.
