Meditation, what is it? According to Merriam-Webster, it is “to engage in mental exercise such as concentration on one’s breathing or repetition of a mantra for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness.” The idea of meditation has a somewhat negative connotation when viewed as a new age practice. Yet, notice what Asaph wrote about meditation, that upon which he would set his thoughts and focus:

I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will meditate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds. Your ways, O God, are holy. What god is so great as our God? Psalm 77:11-13 NIV 1984

So, perhaps the act of meditation is not in itself a wrong practice. But let us carefully consider that upon which we will fix our thoughts.

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus … Hebrews 3:1 NIV 1984 ... See MoreSee Less

When a mocker is punished, the naïve become wise. When a wise person is instructed, he gains knowledge. Proverbs 21:11 TLV

According to Oxford Languages, punishment is “the infliction … of a penalty as retribution for an offense.” Yet God’s Word tells us

Never take your own revenge, loved ones, but give room for God’s wrath—for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” says Adonai. Romans 21:19 TLV

So, is revenge different from punishment? Again, according to Oxford Languages revenge is “inflicting hurt or harm on someone for an injury or wrong suffered at their hands.”

So, to punish a mocker, to assign a penalty as retribution for an offense is not the same as to take revenge inflicting hurt or harm. Perhaps this comparison will clarify:

Revenge is for personal gratification, whereas punishment seeks to instruct. Revenge attempts to restore justice or possibly self-worth, whereas punishment seeks to rehabilitate. And finally, revenge strikes harder in retaliation, whereas punishment meets with equal force with the hope of restoration. ... See MoreSee Less

Is it wrong to prepare for future disasters, perhaps the potential of social unrest situations? Is it demonstrating a lack of faith or trust in God to store extra supplies should they become unavailable? Let us look into His Word to see what God says?

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— and poverty will come on you like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. Proverbs 6:6-11 NIV ... See MoreSee Less

Is anyone among you suffering? He should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually be singing praises to the Lord. James 5:13 tlb

What is the remedy for suffering? Keep on praying. And what should be the result of our thanks? Let us continually sing praises to the Lord. What are you thankful for today? What song of praise will you sing to God as a result?

How do you feel about those days when your eyes pop open before the alarm clock so rudely interrupts your rest? One day I awoke to a most pleasant sound – a gentle rain. And then I remembered Jesus said:

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Matthew 5:43-45 niv

So as we start each day, may the sights, sounds and songs of nature fill our ears and remind us to look heavenward for peace, power and provision to walk as Jesus did.

REFLECTIVE RESOURCE: Treasured Moments

Throughout life, we experience good things we'll always remember. We might not even realize at the time that they're the kind of things that will stay with us. Yet whether we're young, or old, they become treasured moments we'll revisit over and over in our minds.

Whether they happen when we're alone or with others, at home or elsewhere, during quiet times or noisy fun, on vacation, staycation, or an average day, those special moments are part of who we are. That's probably why we love to tell others about them.

We at Warrior of the Word are honored to be a contributing author to this work benefitting Samaritan’s purse. ... See MoreSee Less

Do you believe in the wind, that it exists? Although we cannot see it, we can see what it does. We can also see what God does, just look at the sky.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11:6 NIV
So, again, do you believe in God? ... See MoreSee Less
