Meditation

Do you ever have trouble believing the Word of God?
Not just agreeing with it mentally, but really believing that what it says will work for you?

There are times when the promises in the Word astound our mind. There have been times when we felt so defeated and the circumstances around us looked so bad that it was tough for us to believe we were " more than a conqueror" even though we knew God said we were.

What do you do when your mind staggers like that at the promise of God?

Just meditate on that promise.

Scriptural meditation simply means thinking about and reflecting on the Word of God. It means pondering a particular scripture and mentally applying it to your own circumstances again and again until that scripture permanently marks your consciousness.

Genesis 15:5-6
"And [God] brought [Abram] forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness."
