How ...A.B. Dada,<br /><br />I'm curious about your comments.<br /><br />How does a Christian's having access to the Holy Spirit now make meditation on the Word different from the time of the Old Testament?<br /><br />Granted, we have the complete collection of Scripture now and more to meditate upon. We also have the "lens" by which to read it, namely that of Christ. <br /><br />How does having access to the Holy Spirit in our time alter the understanding of Psalm 119 (from which the statements were taken about meditation on the word)? <br /><br />Are we in a time in which having the Holy Spirit within all believers somehow supercedes the Scriptures?<br /><br />I'm honestly trying to work through your comments. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />WaltWalter Hampelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093130197065383872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37385791.post-27041976868902081982006-11-19T15:43:00.000-05:002006-11-19T15:43:00.000-05:00Interesting post, but wholly irrelevant to living ...Interesting post, but wholly irrelevant to living the Kingdom life. The Psalms are loving and a great reminder of what God required of His people at the time, but He also did not give them unlimited access to the Spirit, either.<br /><br />Prayer/meditation during the time fot the Law is different than prayer is today. Different timeframes, different mindsets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37385791.post-48441494466521045732006-11-18T15:47:00.000-05:002006-11-18T15:47:00.000-05:00A possible new heading might be: Prayer and Medita...A possible new heading might be: <i>Prayer and Meditation: a Keyhole to Understanding Scripture</i><br />Your post is a fresh reminder as to the importance of the discipline of meditation and prayer in regards to coming to a deeper understanding of the Scriptures. Who better to guide the mind and aid in the digestion of His Word than God Himself. Through prayer and meditation, beseeching God for clarity and understanding, may we draw ever closer to the mind of Christ.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457890189092453782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37385791.post-35259891243978086072006-11-18T15:46:00.000-05:002006-11-18T15:46:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457890189092453782noreply@blogger.com
