The Hebrew word often translated as "meditate" is "hagah," which means to murmur, ponder, or imagine. In the Greek New Testament, the concept is captured by words like "meletao," meaning to care for, attend to, or practice.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage:</b> <br>Meditation in the Bible is primarily an exercise of the mind and heart, focusing on God's law, His works, and His character. It is a spiritual discipline that involves intentional and sustained thought on divine truths.<br><br><b>Old Testament References:</b> <br>Meditation is frequently mentioned in the Psalms, where it is associated with delighting in and reflecting on God's law. <a href="/psalms/1-2.htm">Psalm 1:2</a> states, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night." This verse highlights the continuous and deliberate nature of meditation as a means to spiritual prosperity and growth.<br><br><a href="/psalms/19-14.htm">Psalm 19:14</a> further illustrates the personal and prayerful aspect of meditation: "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer." Here, meditation is linked with speech and the inner life, suggesting that what one meditates on influences one's words and actions.<br><br><a href="/joshua/1-8.htm">Joshua 1:8</a> underscores the importance of meditation for success and obedience: "This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do."<br><br><b>New Testament Context:</b> <br>While the New Testament does not use the term "meditate" as frequently, the concept is present in the encouragement to dwell on spiritual truths. <a href="/philippians/4-8.htm">Philippians 4:8</a> exhorts believers to focus their thoughts on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, or praiseworthy. This aligns with the meditative practice of filling one's mind with God's truth.<br><br><a href="/1_timothy/4-15.htm">1 Timothy 4:15</a> advises, "Be diligent in these matters and absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all." This suggests a meditative focus on spiritual growth and the teachings of the faith.<br><br><b>Purpose and Benefits:</b> <br>Meditation in the biblical sense serves several purposes. It aids in internalizing God's Word, leading to a deeper understanding and application of His truths. It fosters a closer relationship with God, as believers reflect on His nature and deeds. Meditation also provides spiritual nourishment and strength, equipping believers to face life's challenges with faith and wisdom.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b> <br>Biblical meditation involves setting aside time to read, reflect, and pray over Scripture. It can be practiced through memorization, journaling, or silent contemplation. The goal is to allow God's Word to transform the mind and heart, resulting in a life that honors Him.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While the Bible does not provide a detailed methodology for meditation, it clearly emphasizes its importance as a means of spiritual growth and intimacy with God. By meditating on Scripture, believers align their thoughts with God's will, leading to a life marked by obedience, peace, and joy.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
