Text: Psalm 1:1-2

Introduction.

• There are two ways to understand the meditation:

• The oriental religions have taken in the habit of meditation completely.
• Christian meditation is the attempt of deflate the mind in order to refill it.

• How to meditate? Ruminate "the law of the Lord day and night"?
• Do you Remember what is to ruminate? Chew over and over.

• Generally we read the Bible and right after, we pray.
• Meditation is in the middle of these two.
• You catch the thoughts of God and take it to the bottom of the heart
• You understand what God is saying. Apply in your life.

• If you go from the Bible to prayer, you are going from the mind to your wishes.
• Passes above the heart.
• The entrance door to adoration is the meditation.
