On Meditation, Part 3

December 3, 2005 8:58 am

I’ve put up a few posts about meditation. We often think of meditation as something we do in our morning quiet times, meditating on God’s word. But in his book Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, author Donald Whitney points out that the great preacher George Whitefeld would review his day as he prepared for bed in the evening–in essence, meditating on his day–to consider his spiritual health. Here are some of them:
Have I,

  • been fervent in prayer?
  • used stated hours of prayer?
  • after any pleasure, immediately given thanks?
  • planned business for the day?
  • been meek, cheerful, affable in everything I said or did?
  • been proud, vain, unchaste, or enviable of others?
  • thought or spoken unkindly of anyone?
  • confessed all sins?
