Meditate = to think thoughts until it creates a lasting emotion, to imagine, to mutter and talk about

 

God designed us to live and experience life out of our hearts. Sadly however we tend to meditate on negative things and then we wonder why things never change. By changing our thoughts and mental images, we change our reality. Our thoughts - the mental images we carry in our minds, affect our life because they influence our emotions.  We are attracting to us whatever our most dominating and lasting emotions are.

 

Consider these verses:

 

The thoughts of the [steadily] diligent tend only to plenteousness, but everyone who is impatient and hasty hastens only to want. (Proverbs 21:5 AMP)

 

Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. (Genesis 11:6 AMP)
