Meditation’s Reward?
Meditation Journey Day 19 Hi Friend, Today we begin to unpack verse five of Proverbs 2:1-5. My son, if you receive my words and hide/memorize/treasure up my commandments with you, turning/applying/tuning your inner ear to be attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry/call out for Wisdom/insight/knowledge and raise your…

intentionality and intensity
Meditation Journey Day 18 Hi Friend, My goal in writing you these reflections is to hopefully give to you insight into the Biblical pattern of growing your spiritual life. This passage is just one of many I could walk you through from the Old and New Testaments that reveal that journey. Psalm 1, Psalm 119,…

if and only if
Meditation Journey Day 17 Hi Friend, We began our discussion of Proverbs 2:1-5 by focusing on the three “ifs” of the passage, now we approach the “then”.

The Treasure’s Cost
Meditation Journey Day 16 Hi Friend, Our passage says we are to seek and search for wisdom as for hidden treasures. The treasure of Wisdom is hidden from those that do not seek the Lord Jesus Christ, because of their unbelief. Some cringe at statements like this because the cry comes, “Is there not other…

Search as for hidden treasure!
Meditation Journey Day 15 Hi Friend, Little words can have major consequences! “…and if”, remember we noticed the three ifs in Proverbs 2:1-5?

Seeds of Wisdom
Meditation Journey Day 11 Hi Friend, Today’s meditation has been challenging to communicate. I pray that we all have ears to hear what God is asking of us. If we are to incline our ears (minds, hearts and souls) to wisdom and apply our hearts to understanding, then we need to know what wisdom and…

Applying the Heart
Hi Friend, How do we apply our heart to understanding? Remember we are call to “…apply your heart to understanding.” Knowing what “understanding” means helps us gain a handle on this process. In yesterday’s devotion we learned that “Understanding is the practical application of the wisdom or insight of God.” Now we need to define…

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Meditation Journey Day 10 As I promised, today we will begin to unpack verse 2 ‘… turning (inclining) your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding,…” Our focus will be on our ears. The ear as referred to in this verse is not just the outer extension of flesh that sits on both…

The Engrafted Word
Meditation Journey Day 9 Hi Friend, Today we will begin to unpack verse two of Proverbs 2:1-5, but before we do I want to share with you some things I do to “hide” the Word in my heart. My perspective towards the process is this: I know that it is the seed of God, and it…
