Chicken Soup With Pepper Leaves And Chiles

Here are a few suggestions to help you get started [with Bible meditation]. 1. Prepare. Issues of posture, time and place are secondary, but not unimportant. The only rule would be: do whatever is most conducive to concentration. 2. Peruse. Read, repeat the reading, write it out, then re-write it. 3. Picture. Apply your imagination and senses to the truth of the text. Envision yourself personally engaged in the relationship or encounter or experience of which the text speaks. 4. Ponder. Reflect on the truth of the Word; brood over the truth of the text; absorb it, soak it in, as you turn it over in your mind. 5. Pray. At some point take the truth as the Holy Spirit has illuminated it and pray it back to God whether in petition, thanksgiving, or intercession. 6. Personalize. Where possible, according to sound principles of biblical interpretation, replace proper names and proper pronouns with your own name. 7. Praise. Worship the Lord for who He is and what He has done and how it has been revealed in Scripture. 8. Practice. Commit yourself to doing what the Word commands. The aim of meditation is moral transformation.

The way also in which texts are brought to his mind, opened up to his understanding, or applied to his heart; the light cast upon a passage when speaking from it, the suitable Scriptures which are brought to his memory to confirm his views upon it, and the sweet enjoyment which he has himself in or after the time of speaking from it; the secret prayer and meditation on the word which he has before he goes into the pulpit, and the holy savor which often rests on his spirit after the labors of the day; the sense which he has of the blessedness of the work, and his willingness to spend and be spent, labor and suffer, live and die in the Lord's service – these and similar experiences confirm him in the persuasion that the Lord has called him to the work, and is with him in it.
