My Meditation

Thank you to all who have signed up and all who have posted. I pray that this blog will be an avenue for growth in many lives.

It has been days and I am still on the same portion of the verse, my verse from day one of the blog. Has anyone else been working on a particular passage? I find the verse has a rhythm. 4 counts, 3 counts, 4 quick counts. It’s time to move on. At least it should be, but my heart still wants to hear these 11 syllables. My plan was to learn the first portion, and then proceed to the next. This is a section of scripture that I intended to learn years ago. It is time to do so, with diligence. But…the proper way to learn scripture is probably not to bounce the words around in my head, tick the syllables off on my fingers and then experiment with the wording. What if the preposition were different? Could the verse then hold the same meaning? Change the order of the words? What will that do to the verse? How long will it take me to complete a portion of scripture if I keep playing games with the words?

I know the drill – how I am supposed to do this. Repeat the words, exactly. Tuck them away in my heart. Move on to the next verse in the passage.

Nevertheless, I suspect I am looking at another day of the same 11 syllables rolling around in my head. They float around me when I drive. They wave like a ribbon behind me when I walk. Bounce in front of me when I do the dishes. What kind of meditation is this?

Blessings to you and Peace Multiplied.
