The essence of meditation is a period of time set aside to contemplate the Lord, listen to Him, and allow His Spirit to fill us.
When we meet with God in this way, He equips us to carry out our duties, whatever they may be. As we focus on HIm, He prepares us for life.
I sought the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed.
Psalm 34: 4-5
