  • On Meditation

    The more you read the Bible; and the more you meditate on it, the more you will be astonished with it. — Charles Spurgeon

    Many Christ followers don’t understand what meditation actually means. When we meditate on something we are simply focusing our thoughts. To understand what it means to meditate on God’s Word, let’s read Pastor Rick Warren’s description. He says, “Surprisingly, if you know how to worry, you already know how to meditate on the Word of God. Worry is when you take a negative thought and think on it over and over and over. When you take a passage of Scripture and think on it over and over and over, that’s called meditation.” 

    The Bible mentions meditation over twenty times and calls us to meditate on God’s Word. This is a beneficial practice to incorporate into our daily time with God as it provides a mental and emotional rest for us as well as spiritual growth.

    This topic has been coming up more frequently in my private reading time. This and breathing. (I will reflect on that in another future post.)

    Admittedly I’ve fallen off the meditation wagon quite a bit. There are times where I commit to doing 15 minutes of meditation (on God’s Word) everyday. Then I fail to do it. I recommit to 10 minutes. Then I fail. I recommit to 5 minutes. Then I fail.

    This time, it will be different. If I can just consistently dedicate my thought life for 5 minutes to God, I will change my life.

  • On Breathing

    Calm breath is not just about inhaling air; it’s about inhaling intention. Enter the 4-7-8 technique: inhale for four counts, hold for seven, and exhale for eight. With this pattern, you create a calming rhythm that soothes your nerves and pushes away stress. But that’s not all; consider the art of square breathing. Inhale for four, hold for four, exhale for four, and pause for four. Every breath becomes a step to balance, a four-part rhythm that meets quietly.
