Meditation—by Ivor and Anne-Marie Botha
May 21, 2023
Sermon summary:
Meditation is mentioned 58 times in the Bible. Psalm 19:14 How is your meditation—is it pleasing in the sight of the Lord?
Do you have time for God and make space for him in your life by stopping, listening, and looking for him?
Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. Take time from your busy schedule; stop the noise, and focus on God. Get away to a place where it is quiet and still. Set your mind on things above. What is consuming your mind? Focus on the spiritual rather than the negative. Be receptive to God's prompting.

Read Scripture through context, culture, and Christ. Its purpose is to shape us into Jesus’ likeness through love, obedience, and faithfulness.
Jesus built his life on Scripture through prayer, learning and obedience, showing us how to know God deeply and walk daily in his purpose by staying rooted daily.
Saying “no” to sin is saying “yes” to freedom. Through grace, discipline, and daily surrender, we follow Jesus—not perfectly, but faithfully.
