Meditation

 We give thanks to you, O God; we give thanks, for your name is near. We recount your wondrous deeds.

Psalm 75:1 (ESV)
 
When was the last time I recounted God's wondrous deeds? What are His wondrous deeds?
Maybe the fact that I must ask that question means that I am not tuned in with what those deeds are. Perhaps that is why we need to take time, intentionally, to stop, ponder, and remember. Maybe that is why we have communion: to force ourselves to stop and reflect on the single most crucial time in the universe's history. Why do I forget God's intervention and goodness so easily while seemingly staring down the "issues" of life that are so troublesome?
 
Meditating is an essential part of enjoying God. Yet even Satan has tried to destroy meditation by defining it, to a secular world, as something that empties your mind, rather than something that fills your mind with God, His truth, His love, and His deeds.
 
Today, we should spend time recounting God's marvelous deeds. If we choose to do that, this will be a good day.
