Meditação
A meditação na Palavra de Deus é prática espiritual essencial. Diferente da meditação oriental, a meditação bíblica é reflexão profunda sobre as Escrituras — ruminar a Palavra dia e noite.
Meditar na Palavra dia e noite
Bem-aventurado o homem que medita na lei do Senhor de dia e de noite. Ele é como árvore plantada junto a ribeiros de águas.
1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
8 Let not the book of this law depart from thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate on it day and night, that thou mayst observe and do all things that are written in it: then shalt thou direct thy way, and understand it.
