We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

I believe this is the heart of fear our heavenly Father desires. Fearing man dishonors Him. But fearing His displeasure brings Him great satisfaction. After all that is what love is – not fear of what the person I love may do to me (cf. 1 Jn. 4:18), but rather fear of what I may do to hurt the person I love. It’s fear of doing anything to damage the relationship. So an unbeliever’s fear drives him to hide from God in fear. A believer’s fear drives him to run to God with fear of displeasing Him.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get started [with Bible meditation]. 1. Prepare. Issues of posture, time and place are secondary, but not unimportant. The only rule would be: do whatever is most conducive to concentration. 2. Peruse. Read, repeat the reading, write it out, then re-write it. 3. Picture. Apply your imagination and senses to the truth of the text. Envision yourself personally engaged in the relationship or encounter or experience of which the text speaks. 4. Ponder. Reflect on the truth of the Word; brood over the truth of the text; absorb it, soak it in, as you turn it over in your mind. 5. Pray. At some point take the truth as the Holy Spirit has illuminated it and pray it back to God whether in petition, thanksgiving, or intercession. 6. Personalize. Where possible, according to sound principles of biblical interpretation, replace proper names and proper pronouns with your own name. 7. Praise. Worship the Lord for who He is and what He has done and how it has been revealed in Scripture. 8. Practice. Commit yourself to doing what the Word commands. The aim of meditation is moral transformation.
