7 Key Scriptures To Meditate On - with IMAGES (web only)
In Psalm 119:15 it says “I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.” That fits nicely with the concept of meditation…to fix your eyes upon so we can say that meditation is contemplating, fixing our eyes (and necessarily our attention) on, considering it very carefully, thoughtfully, and thoroughly, and uttering it in the mind over and over again. Meditating on the Word of God seems to be a lost art today from many Christians that I talk to yet it is one of the most beneficial ways in which we can hide His Word in our hearts. To meditate on a Bible verse or verses is to read it (fix your eyes upon it), consider it thoughtfully, ponder it, think about it, and reflect upon it.
