Finally, there is the confirmation of His Peace. Whenever God speaks, even if what He is saying to us is corrective, there will always be His peace with it. The peace of God acts as an umpire in your heart. This is how we know what we are hearing is from Him; there is a peace that accompanies it. Maybe there comes a time when an opportunity opens for you, but you don’t feel right about taking it. Just stop. Your peace is disturbed. Wait for His peace to tell you it is OK to go ahead; if you don’t receive it; don’t go. In walking with Him, in making decisions, keep consulting His umpiring peace."

"I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord."

Psalm 104:33-34

"O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. Psalm " 119:97-99

Psalm chapter 1: "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 119: 145-148 "I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O Lord: I will keep thy statutes. I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

Joseph Hall’s Valuation of Meditation:

"It is by meditation that we ransack our deep false hearts, find out our secret enemies, come to grips with them, expel them, and arm ourselves against their re-entrance.  By meditation, we make use of all good means, fit ourselves for all good duties.  By meditation, we see our weaknesses, obtain redress, prevent temptations, cheer up our loneliness, temper our occasions of delight, get more light unto our knowledge, add more heat to our affection, put more life into our devotions.  It is only by meditation that we are able to be strangers upon the earth as we are commanded to be, and by this we are brought to a right estimation of all earthly things.  Finally, into a sweet enjoyment of invisible comforts.  Meditation alone is the remedy for security in worldliness, it is the best way to improve Christianity.  Learn if you can, neglect if you so desire, but he who does so shall never find joy, neither God, nor in himself."

As Christians we all know that Satan is very alive and very well.  I heard a series on the radio by Dr. David Jeremiah on New Age Medicine.  This is one area where I know that Christians are being deceived and are opening themselves up to ‘angels of light/demonic’ activity.  We need to especially be careful of those avenues that tell us to clear our minds for better health...to heal our bodies.  I actually saw advertised on television a thing we can put on our heads to change our brain waves.  We have got to be aware of what is happening in the world around us.
