“Establish my footsteps in [the way of] Your word; Do not let any human weakness have power over me [causing me to be separated from You].” PSALM 119:133 AMP
Good morning Divine Ones! We are continuing our journey with the power of Order. In yesterdays message we talked about putting God first through prayer. Today we are working with the next step of putting God first which is meditation. The scripture says to order my steps in thy Word and do not allow human weakness to have power over me. Let’s break it down.
Both prayer and meditation expand our awareness of the divine power within us. As we expand our awareness of this divine inner power, our steps are Ordered. Prayer is the first step. Now on to meditation. To Meditate is “to think deeply or focus one’s mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting.” (Websters).
I recommend concentrating on counting the breaths taken. So inhaling to a count of four and then exhaling to a count of four. This gives us something to focus our attention on and also bring our attention back to, when our mind wanders to other thoughts. And our minds WILL wander. Our mind will wander to thoughts of what we have on our to do lists. What should we have for breakfast, what we could be doing. When that happens just gently bring your attention back to counting your breaths. This time gives our minds time to rest.
Meditation is practiced to focus our attention on good, on the Spirit within us. Not for what Spirit can do FOR us, but for what Spirit can work through us. As we focus, we become more aware of the invisible, invincible Spirit that lives within us. We begin to feel, to believe that all things are possible. When we pray and meditate we direct our attention to the inside not up and away from us. We are to concentrate on directing our focus within us to the Secret Place from Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Our power comes from the Secret Place. Our protection comes from abiding in the Secret Place. Protection from what? Human weakness and limitation.
So Divine Ones this is establishing Order in our mind, expanding our awareness, expanding our consciousness. As we pray, as we meditate, as we Order our steps...WE ARE SAVED FROM OURSELVES! More tomorrow! 💖💖💖💖
