Now I read this section of Psalms 119 to show how meditating on God’s law and His Word benefited the Psalmist. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every false way. I do not turn aside from your rules, for you have taught me.
I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.
I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. As a Christian woman, I’m thinking (is this a bad thing that I’m thinking since it is in my head…?) I’m thinking… well, by that definition being in my head doesn’t seem so bad especially, if I were to say that I WANT to constantly be thinking about Christ and God’s Word. So I asked the world’s Bible -Google-what it means to get out of your head- “idioms by the free says getting out of your head means- manage to forget someone or something to stop thinking about or wanting someone or something. What does that mean? What does it mean that you’re in your head? What does that look like? How do you get out of your head what does that look like?
Whenever we bring order out of chaos, whenever we draw out creative potential, whenever we elaborate and “unfold” creation beyond where it was when we found it, we are following God’s pattern of creative cultural development.Anybody ever tell you to “get out of your head”?
When we take fabric and make a piece of clothing, when we push a broom and clean up a room, when we use technology to harness the forces of electricity, when we take an unformed, naive human mind and teach it a subject, when we teach a couple how to resolve their relational disputes, when we take simple materials and turn them into a poignant work of art-we are continuing God’s work of forming, filling, and subduing. Music takes the physics of sound and rearranges it into something beautiful and thrilling that brings meaning to life. Farming takes the physical material of soil and seed and produces food. This pattern is found in all kinds of work. “ is rearranging the raw material of God’s creation in such a way that it helps the world in general, and people in particular, thrive and flourish.
