OK>>>>>Here we go, let's translate this thinking idea into meditating..... let's see where we are with it......
Are you all meditating on a passage??? OOOO, no this is what I want my question to be ;) What passage are you meditating on??
(Let's say meditating as just reviewing something over and over in your mind)

To be quite honest with you I haven't been meditating on anything, but I'll do it tonight in my bible reading. ; )
I have been meditating a few days on 1 Sam 15:22 right after Samual tells Saul to destroy the Amalekites, and Saul disobeys and saves the best of the land to sacrifice to God.
1 Samuel 15:22 (ESV)
And Samuel said, "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.
I was thinking especially on the "to obey is better than sacrifice" and what was this obedience that it talks of here. I cross referenced it to
Psalm 51:16-17 Which seems to say what God desires from us is humility. Also Isaiah 1:11-17 which seems to be saying that God wants from us is to be justice seekers with those who cannot help themselves.
Which I translate that God see's these fatherless and widows as made in His image but the sin in the world is causing them to suffer. Where we come in is to help in reversing these effects of sin and selfishness in the world, bring about the kingdom by being Christ hands, feet, mouth, pocket book to those in need.
Well anyway I will quit rambling. That's what i am thinking about.
