Meditation

Some of my notes from New Attitude past on how to meditate on God's Word.

1. Choose passage, read slowly three times.
2. Rewrite it in your own words.
3. Go sentence by sentence and pray through.
4. Application:
A. What does this text reveal about God?
B. What does this text reveal about why
you should trust in God?
C. What does this text reveal about His Word?
D. What attitude or mindset about God or his
word does this text reveal in your heart?
E. What actions does God want you to change
or do more of?
F. Does this text reveal something I should do
for the sake of Christ or others?

Obviously, every step is not necessarily practical for all reading, but it can be very helpful, and you can be surprised how much you can get out of just a few verses. That's what's so incredible about the Bible, there is so much richness to dig into, you can't exhaust it...
