Meditation is not optional . The same  Bible that commands us to pray without ceasing , to rejoice evermore. and ineverything give thanks also urges us to meditate.i find it interesting that this term appears no less than twenty times in the word , with fourteen of those references occurring in the Psalms. I suggest that meditation is to be broad enough to include imagination as we ponder. God"s Word.we should link our lives with his Word in our times of meditation
