True Meditation


Take time when you:

Allow no distractions.

Turn off any electronic devices in a room conducive to thinking and praying.


Let us group together the blessed assurances of His love, that we may look upon them continually: The Son of God leaving His Father’s throne, clothing His divinity with humanity, that He might rescue man from the power of Satan; His triumph in our behalf, opening heaven to men, revealing to human vision the presence chamber where the Deity unveils His glory; the fallen race uplifted from the pit of ruin into which sin had plunged it, and brought again into connection with the infinite God, and having endured the divine test through faith in our Redeemer, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, and exalted to His throne—these are the pictures which God would have us contemplate. SC 118

We, too, must have times set apart for meditation and prayer and for receiving spiritual refreshing. HDL 56


Safe topics to dwell on:

Love of God

Law of God.

Psalms 27:4 “To behold the beauty of the Lord...”

Scripture

Nature-  atom → universe

Laws of health.

Life of Christ.


Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8


With discipline of mind this meditation will also be done as we go about all the activities of daily life, helping to keep the thoughts “pure and holy”.


We are all encouraged to study this topic more fully in the Scriptures and the writings of the SOP.
