We meditate to reflect on the word of God.  When we meditate, it is remind ourselves of the blessings God blessed us with in the past and the present.

In Philippians chapter four verse eight (NIV): Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

King David, who was a man after God’s heart, meditated often about God’s way of living.  He wrote often throughout the Book of Psalms about meditating.  David wrote multiple times in Psalms one hundred nineteen about meditating on God’s law.  He would mediate in good times and bad times.

When we meditate on God’s word, he reveals more information about what was written. 

In Joshua chapter one verse eight: Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.

God’s blessings are created daily in our lives even.  When we are down, we hold on to our current blessings and reflect on our past (what God had done for us with gratitude).

In Psalms seventy-seven verses eleven through thirteen:

¹¹ I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
    yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
¹² I will consider all your works
    and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”

¹³ Your ways, God, are holy.
    What god is as great as our God?

When we meditate on God’s word, it reminds us how loving and powerful God is in any given situation.

In Psalms chapter one verses one and two:¹ Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
² but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
