MAN IS A MEDITATIVE BEING. – Daily Devotional

Scriptural text:
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2

One difference between man and an animal is the meditative capacity of man. Animals only have adaptive meditation but man has transformation meditation.

A dog can never meditate into behaving like a lion; its meditation can only make it more adapted as a dog. However in the case of man, he can meditate to become what he’s thinking or what he desires. If you have been living in foolishness or fear for the most part of your life,you can become as wise an eagle and as bold as a lion, by meditation. This is transformation.

It’s so glorious to know that you can change from one form to another, from one glory and capacity to another. It’s in you to be able to do so. So, the choice is yours as to where and what your life would be hinged on. Refuse to hinge your life on the wrong stuff, for example,focusing on what you don’t have or cannot do, playing the blame game on others or gossip- constantly proving that other people are bad. Hinge your life rather, on God’s word and you will bring yourself to where God wants you to be. Hallelujah!
