He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Some Christians are deeply skeptical of the practice of meditation because of the way that it is so closely associated with religious practices of the East. Eastern meditation practices focus on emptying the mind, creating an opening for invasion by spiritual forces of darkness. Christian meditation focuses on internalizing the wisdom of God as it is revealed in His word.
Eastern meditation teaches people to detach from their physical world.
Christian meditation may also be focused on the Lord Jesus Christ who is God's Word sent in person. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. So that none of us could miss His message, God came into the world and lived among us speaking His wisdom in the life of Jesus Christ. Our meditation is guided by the information from the Word of God. We read of areas where there is a great dryness, a drought.
