Meditation

Illustration★★★★

Is the art of meditation becoming a lost art for most of us? If so, whatever our gain in other ways by its neglect, our loss is greater. We cannot grow as we should in spir- itual stature without meditation. Great truths do not possess us and become really ours until we have taken time to think them through. It is by meditation that the soul is made strong, that character is molded more and more into godliness, troubled minds are calmed, the wounds to the spirit healed, and we learn to have fellow- ship with God. The ancient prophet emphasizes the thought tersely and beautifully in the familiar words: “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.’’
