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 Blessid is the man, that yede not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence.2 But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.
8 The book of this lawe departe not fro thi mouth, but thou schalt thenke therynne in daies and nyytis, that thou kepe and do alle thingis that ben writun therynne; thanne thou schalt dresse thi weie, and schalt vndirstonde it.
Frutos da meditação
A meditação produz entendimento, alegria e adoração. Quem medita na Palavra encontra direção, paz e renovação espiritual.
3 God schal come opynli; oure God, and he schal not be stille. Fier schal brenne an hiye in his siyt; and a strong tempest in his cumpas.
11 And thei foryaten hise benefices; and hise merueils, whiche he schewide to hem.12 He dide merueils bifore the fadris of hem in the loond of Egipt; in the feeld of Taphneos.
5 Lord, bowe doun thin heuenes, and come thou doun; touche thou hillis, and thei schulen make smoke.
9 And he schal not yyue the prijs of raunsum of his soule; and he schal trauele with outen ende,
33 And he smoot the vynes of hem, and the fige trees of hem; and al to-brak the tree of the coostis of hem.34 He seide, and a locuste cam; and a bruk of which was noon noumbre.
