For the past several weeks now, I have invited my congregation to practice meditating on psalms of praise, specifically Psalms 145-150. The particular practice has been to eat a piece of chocolate and then say over and over again (a biblical understanding of 'meditate') one of those five Psalms - see the previous post entitled "May God's Praise Be Ever Sweet on Your Lips". If you have been doing this practice, I would like for you to comment below about your experience here so that we might have some dialog about the practice. I offer these questions as 'primers', feel free to answer them or others as you talk about your experience:
Have you enjoyed the experience?
Have you experienced any change in the way you understand the Psalm? In what ways?
Has the practice helped you praise God differently than you have before?
Does God's praise remain sweet on your lips at other times during the day or week?
What does it mean to you for God's praise to be sweet on your lips?
Shalom Y'all!
