Just For Today – Step Eleven -- Basis

STEP ELEVEN Involves the spiritual disciplines of prayer and meditation.

We seek to know Christ more intimately through prayer and meditation, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” -- Colossians 3:16a

"There is a direct linkage among self-examination, meditation, and prayer.  Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief and benefit.  But when they are logically related and interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation for life."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

All though there is a link to self-examination, mediation and prayer, we must be very careful of what we are meditating on.  Emptying the mind and not filling it with the things of God can be a dangerous position to place ourselves in.  It will be a field for Satan to enter and begin manipulating our thought patterns back to that 'stinkin' ‘thinkin'.

Always begin your Step work seeking God, the Lord Jesus Christ first.

He will never fail you or forsake anything you attempt to do as long as you have Him in the right position in your life.

Meditating on His healing Word as you get to know who He is.  The Word of God is the only truth there is, the entire Bible is His character.

A great way to get to know Him and to know His will for your life.

Study, with prayer and meditation on His word, will help you to determine His will in our lives and provides the strength to carry out that will.

Never mediate on nothing, never close your mind and empty it without God being your meditation focus – His word.

This will give you the ultimate deep rooted foundation for life.

Psalm 19

1   The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2   Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

3   There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.

4   Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

5   which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6   It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

7   The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.

8   The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.

9   The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
