Meditation

Joshua was told by God to meditate on his laws continuously. (Joshua 1:8)

The Psalms inform us that we should meditate on the Law of God, day and night. (Psalm 1:2, etc.) They also suggest that we should meditate on God's works - the things that he has done. (Psalm 143:5)

In the book of Isaiah, we read: "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!" (Isaiah 26:3, NLT)

In reminding his followers not to be anxious about the things of this life, Jesus told his disciples to "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?" (Matthew 6:28-30, ESV)

Paul wrote to the saints at Philippi that they should "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." (Philippians 4:8, NLT)
