Daily Meditation - A way of life


“He saw the best – Marvin Sapp”

A task, I have developed over the months is reciting bible verses, spiritual phrases, encouraging songs and positive quotes throughout the day.   Even though I have done this task in the past, the challenge was consistency – being able to repeat this exercise daily without thinking about it. I can confidently say I have overcome the challenge mentioned. Now, I can speak on the power of my meditation task and what it has done for me.


For the past few months, the lyrics to Marvin Sapp’s “The Best in Me” has ministered to me like no other – so much so, that I have posted the lyrics below.  Throughout the day, I continuously repeat to myself “He (God) sees the best in me. “  Declaring those words throughout the day, provide a standard for how I should perform at work and in my life - accountability.  My belief: God sees the best; therefore we should offer him our best. As a result, those words motivate  me daily to perform at my highest level.  Secondly, after I meditate on those lyrics, I am refueled and I immediately get a burst of positive energy that helps me to keep going.  Daily meditation helps me to remain focus on the task at hand because I feel that sense of accountability. Lastly, this meditation task helps to renew my mind by getting rid of all negative/counter-productive thoughts that try to penetrate it.


In closing, establishing a daily consistent meditation pattern throughout the day has become a way of life for me.  We all have the ability to meditate and I encourage all readers to incorporate daily meditation into your lifestyle.
Lyrics to “The Best in Me” by Marvin Sapp
He saw the best in me, when everyone else around, could only see the worst in me can. I tell ya’ll one more time, one more time? I said he saw the best in me, When everyone else around, Could only see the worst in me, I wish I had a witness tonight All I need is one Hey He saw the best in me (When everyone else around me) When everyone else around (oohh) (Could only see) Could only see the worst in me Does anybody have that testimony? When folk walks you off Said you would never make it, what did he see? He saw the best in me (When everyone else around you yeaa) When everyone else around (Ooohh, could only) could only see the worst in me Can I tell ya’ll one more thing? I just need to tell you one more thing (Listen to this) See he’s mine, and I am his It doesn’t matter what I did He only sees me, for who I am Does anybody know that  today?
