An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Hillbilly Meditation

Proverbs 4:26 (KJV) Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.

They’re all kinds of different words you can use for those times when you pause from frantic activity and delve deep into your thinking and your mind.  This verse in the KJV throws out another one.  I’m not sure I thought of it before, but the word is “ponder”.  In essence I think it means the same thing is to meditate or to contemplate.  It means to stop and think.

I think perhaps this could be an important part of your daily worship.  I know every morning I try to think about the attributes of God and his blessings on my life.  I try to think about changes I might need to make and sometimes even about things I’m doing right.  I ponder my path.

So?  Use the fancy words or the simple ones but make sure you apply them.  Make sure that they’re not just slogans on the wall but activities of your heart.
