8-Year-Old Girl

Patricia Romo shared on her Instagram a precious moment with her daughter captured on video. Her daughter Bella was memorizing the entire Psalm 23.

“Nothing more precious than my 8-year-old memorizing and meditating on Psalm 23,” Patricia wrote in her post.

The young girl has been reciting Psalm 23 day and night. Her mom has done a great job of teaching her the importance of meditating on the Scriptures.

“She’s been repeating day and night I couldn’t be more blessed than to watch her be hungry for the word of God,” she continued.

Psalm 23

Patricia is so proud of how her daughter Bella is growing up to love the Lord. In her previous post at Bella’s 8th birthday last year, Patricia shared how her daughter has been her prayer partner. Every day, they go into their prayer room and pray.

“You pray day and night for people you’ve never even met, you go to war in the prayer room with me to intercede for families, marriages, children, skid row, for the craziest things mom puts to the list. You expect nothing in return, your heart is warming and giving, you have such a compassionate heart for others.”

She also shared how much she sees Bella loving others.

“My favorite thing about you is the love ???? you have for people. You are a perfect example of what a Godly fearing child looks like”

by Lily Benson
written by Lily Benson

Meditate on These Things. Experience the peace that surpasses all understanding as you align your mind with God’s truth.

Today’s Bible Verse

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:8-9

Put Into Action

The apostle Paul writes about the thought life of the believer and the transformation it can bring. Here are some practical ways we can apply this:

Filter your thoughts: Be intentional about filtering your thoughts through the lens of Philippians 4:8. Whenever negative, impure, or unwholesome thoughts arise, consciously choose to replace them with thoughts that align with God’s truth. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide and help you in this process.

Seek the truth: Fill your mind with the truth of God’s Word. Regularly engage in Bible study, devotionals, and meditating on Scripture. Allow the truth of God’s Word to permeate your thoughts, shaping your beliefs, attitudes, and perspectives.

Pursue purity: Guard your mind against impure thoughts and influences. Choose to fill your mind with things that are pure, virtuous, and honorable. Avoid entertainment, media, or conversations that promote impurity or compromise your spiritual well-being.

Remember, that the transformation of your mind is a journey. Be patient with yourself, and rely on the Holy Spirit to guide and empower you. As you consistently meditate on and practice the things mentioned in Philippians 4:8-9, you will witness the renewal of your mind and the peace of God manifesting in your life.

The Bible As An Ancient Jewish Meditation Literature

by Christa
written by Christa

The Bible is undoubtedly the world’s most-selling and widely distributed book. As of September 2020, it has been translated and read in 704 languages. Although various cultures around the world widely use it, the Bible is originally ancient Jewish meditation literature.

The Bible

The Bible is a collection of books with literary styles such as narrative, poetry, and prose. While having many authors, it is also believed to have one. Because ultimately, the Bible is a divine book. But, to read the Book well, we need to keep in mind that the Bible was written during the ancient Jewish period.

Literary forms produced from time periods such as the Greek writings, or the Medieval Literature, have unique features that should be observed properly. If not, we tend to impose our own cultural assumptions that would lead to bad interpretations. So, the Bible as Jewish literature lacks details that some modern readers expect to have in stories.

For example, the story of Adam and Eve; where did the talking serpent come from? Did God allow it to be there? Why did God mention an offspring of the woman that would crush the serpent’s head but is bitten by it?

Most often, the questions we have of the Bible are not the focus of the authors. But, at the same time, some of the ambiguities invite the reader to discover and study more.

Jewish Meditation Literature

Psalm 1 indicates an ideal Bible reader – one who meditates on it day and night. Because, as it turns out, reading the Bible takes a lifetime to embark on its wonderful journey in discovering the Word of God. That is why it is called meditation literature. It needs to be read and re-read to understand its whole message.

For example, the “offspring” of the woman that would crush the serpent. The word “offspring” hints that would guide readers to pay attention to genealogies evident throughout the whole Bible. It traces back to the lineage of Eve, to David’s dynasty, and up to Jesus. Even the Revelations showed prophetic imagery of a woman bearing her offspring, which would conquer the dragon.

We cannot discover all of these in just one sitting, and it needs to be meditated day and night. And as you let the Bible interpret itself, it will also start to transform you.
