The Role of Meditation in Spiritual Formation
0 - Default Title
Description
According to The New Unger's Bible Dictionary, certain subjects should especially engage the Christian mind, including:
the works of creation (Psalm 19:1-6),
the perfections of God (Deuteronomy 32:4),
the character, office, and work of Christ (Hebrews 12:2-3),
the office and operations of the Holy Spirit (John 15-16),
the dispensations of providence (Psalm 97:1-2),
the precepts and promises of God's Word (Psalm 119),
the value, powers, and immortality of the soul (Mark 8:36), and
the depravity of human nature and the grace of God in salvation.
Meditation has been described as "talking within the mind," an inward dialogue that ultimately influences speech and actions. It involves thinking deeply, dwelling on, calculating, evaluating, considering, reflecting, reasoning, and pondering. The essence of biblical meditation is focusing our thoughts until they shape our behavior.
Ultimately, our thoughts determine our identity. What we think is what we become, where we set our minds is where we will be, and our actions flow from our meditations. As we study spiritual formation and the discipline of meditation, we should do so with a sincere desire to grow toward spiritual maturity and reflect the image of Christ within us.
