People of the world fix their minds on earthly, worldly things (Philippians 3:19) and their hearts pursue carnal matters to the exclusion of all else. If they are active in a form of meditation to an ungodly end, how much more should God's people meditate upon holy and godly things? What we constantly think about is what we may become. Fix attention upon matters of the flesh and we shall become worldly. Turn our attention heavenward and we shall find ourselves becoming heavenly.
While Peter looked at Jesus all was well, but once he took his eyes away, he began to sink beneath the waves as his faith failed. Look often to the Lord of glory and we shall always walk in faith upon the waters of life.
