Life is about growth. As long as there is life something will grow.
If we think about our lives as a lawn, there may be beautiful grass or ugly weeds.
Our words and meditations of God are the release mechanisms of God`s Grace which enable the "grass" to grow and keep the "weeds" out.
When our words and meditations are apart from God, Grace is blocked, the "grass" dies and the "weeds" spring up.
Meditation on a specific idea or subject can be very beneficial. It gives us clarity, depth and perspective. Finally, brothers, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. |
So, we are exhorted to be judicious in what we meditate on - things that proceed from God.
Transcendental Meditation involves clearing one`s mind and opening it to thoughts outside oneself.
Would You open the front door of your house and wait to see who would walk in?
This is what TM is about. It gives Satan an opportunity to transmit his thoughts into a person`s mind. The thoughts that proceed from TM may seem beautiful but Satan only wants You to be wide of the mark.
The Word of God should be the object of our meditation.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success. |
When I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the night watches. |
Princes also did sit and speak against me: but your servant did meditate in your statutes. |
!insert Timothy 4:15
Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle`s. |
Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shall you dwell in the land, and truly you shall be fed. |
