“Meditate For Manifestation”
Tuesday, December 10, 2024Key Verse
“But while he thought on these things behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 1:20).
Text —Matthew 1:18-20
Message
In our text, Joseph the husband of Mary could not understand how his wife became pregnant before they came together as husband and wife. The only logical conclusion he could make was that she must have committed fornication. Hence, he wanted to put her away secretly. But while Joseph meditated on these matters, God sent an angel to him in a dream to clarify this issue that troubled his mind. By meditation, Joseph was able to understand that the pregnancy Mary had was the supernatural act of God.
Meditation is the act of focusing the thought on a given object of concern in order to gain insight and clarity. Meaningful meditation can only be achieved through discipline. One way a Christian youth can gain spiritual depth and strength in Christ is through the practice of daily meditation on the word of God (Joshua 1:8). It draws one closer to God and provides insight into the deep and secret things of the Father. Like Joseph, prayerful meditation will give Christian youths divine revelations for handling tough issues of life.
