Meditation is an intentional form of focusing on one subject. It takes place in our conscious mind, and it involves the present. Jumping thoughts have no focal point other than trying to figure something out. It can be either something future or an event that took place. It is a futile activity because we are in control of nothing in our future or our past.

Meditating on Scripture involves our spirit man ~ shutting out our flesh. According to 1 Corinthians 2:14, meditating is spiritually discerned. Meditating causes us to be like a tree whose roots spread out near a water source, bearing fruit in season. No withering leaves. Meditating is a healing modality or remedy for spiritual dryness.

Meditation is an act of worship. Psalm 145:5 says, “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works.” Lost in communion with the Lord ~ blocking out all distractions and concerns. It is singular focus on the Lover of our soul.
