MEDITATIONS OF MY HEART
Today's reading: Psalm 143-145

"I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles." Psalm 145:5 NLT

I've glanced at the Lexicon this morning in regards to the word 'meditate'. Sure, I know what it means, but I wanted to know what was meant in its original intent. What I've found stirred my heart...

The Hebrew word for meditate is 'asihah'. A few of it's synonyms are meditate, talk over, think on, muse, ponder and sigh.

My favorite synonym was muse.

A muse, in artistic language, is an inspiration. A muse is what inspires a writer to write, a painter to paint and sculptor to sculpt. It's what stirs them. It's what makes them want to make art. It's sometimes what they fashion their artwork after.

When I think of all God has done or me, I am inspired. I am inspired to be more worthy, to be more thankful, to be more loving, to be more gracious. When I meditate on Who He is to me, I do pause and sigh. It overwhelms. It moves my heart. It makes me want to perform from the inside for Him to be glorified.

What does thinking about His greatness do for you?
