MAP for Life – Meditate And Pray

Meditate

Thus says the LORD: 'Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practice steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says the LORD.'” (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

Pray

Mon. – open your heart to the joy of truly knowing and understanding God

Tues. – embrace the truth that the magnificence of knowing and understanding Him outshines all other earthly pleasures

Wed. – thank God that He delights in and practices steadfast love; commit to Him to join Him in that

Thurs. – thank God that He delights in and practices true justice for all people; commit to joining Him in that

Fri. – thank God that He delights in and practices righteousness; commit to joining Him in that

Sat. – commit to God to begin valuing steadfast love, justice, and righteousness as highly as He does

Meditate Read the scripture slowly to yourself several times, letting its truths fill your mind and heart. Try to recall the passage several times during the day, listening to God as He instructs you in what He wants you to learn.

Pray As you read the passage, ask God to help you comprehend its truths and to live your life in a way that reflects those truths.
