Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. — 1 Timothy 4:15-16 KJV

Thought and Reflection
It is imperative for us Christian believers to meditate daily on the Word of God – to dig deeper into the resources that are hidden in every verses and passages. We need to be engrossed with God’s Word and to understand the Scriptures with care, concern and application in our lives.
We ought to compare scripture with scripture and pray that the Lord will guide us and give us wisdom into all truth and protect us from any doctrinal error, false pride or undue criticism – and to minister its truths to all that are placed in our circle of life, as we progress towards an inner beauty, that only the Spirit of God can produce in us.

I pray that I may become indulge all the more into meditating on your words that I may learn to live a godly life in the sight of God and man. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
