Decide to Meditate on God's Word
From Series: "Decide! (Hillside Theme - 2024)"
The word for Hillside in 2024 is "Decide." Will we choose to follow God, or will we choose to serve ourselves?

The glory of the Resurrection is real, but it’s coupled with the tragedy of the Crucifixion. Even if you’re not religious, it’s one of the most pivotal moments in world history.
But a big question remains…who’s responsible for the death of Jesus?
The usual suspects emerge: Pilate, the Romans, and the Jews. Scripturally though, the Bible talks about how we’re all responsible (1 Peter 2:18-25).
Realistically though, the responsibility is with me. Not everyone (although that is true), but with me. I’m responsible. Me. Just me.
Personalizing the Cross is important, because it reminds me of God’s love. Even if nobody else had sinned, my sins would’ve been enough to put Jesus on the cross.
What a powerful concept for us to think on.

CloseTo meditate on God's Word is totally different than "studying" it or even "reading" it. Biblical meditation can be done anywhere, at any time, for any reason. And it should. If we want to create a mind that is 100% devoted to God, we have to cultivate a thoughtful understanding of God's Word. Keep it close -- in your heart and in your mind -- and watch how your spiritual life grows as a result.
