Meditation
|
Joyce Huggett (1937 - ) is an internationally known writer, speaker, and broadcaster who was based in Cyprus for many
years and now lives in Britain. In this selection, Huggett gives us instruction on meditation.
Christian meditation engages every part of us – our mind, our emotions, our imagination, our creativity,
and supremely, our will. Meditation means being attentive to God. The purpose of this attentiveness, this reflection and
this pondering is to see ourselves in the light of God’s revealed word. We meditate to give God’s words the opportunity
to penetrate, not just our minds, but our emotions – the places where we hurt – and our will – the place where we make
choices and decisions. We meditate to encounter the Living Word, Jesus himself. We meditate so that every part of our
being, our thoughts and our affections and our ambitions, are turned to face and honour and glorify him.
The best way to prepare to meditate is to respond to the invitation God gives us through the Psalmist: “Be still, and
know that I am God” (Ps 46:10). When we read a passage of Scripture, stop to reflect and to treasure the words, to
turn them over and over in our minds, repeating them until the truth which they contain trickles from our head into
our hearts.
Bible Selection: Psalm 119:12-16, 23-24, 33-34, 58
Exercise: Write a meditation on a given theme, and devote yourself to a time of prayerful meditation.
