The kind of meditation encouraged in the Bible differs from other kinds of meditation in several ways. While some advocate a kind of meditation in which you do your best to empty your mind, Christian meditation involves filling your mind with God and truth. For some, meditation is an attempt to achieve complete mental passivity, but biblical meditation requires constructive mental activity. Worldly meditation employs visualization techniques intended to “create your own reality.” And while Christian history has always had a place for the sanctified use of our God-given imagination in meditation, imagination is our servant to help us meditate on things that are true (Philippians 4:8). Furthermore, instead of “creating our own reality” through visualization, we link meditation with prayer to God and responsible, Spirit-filled human action to effect changes.

which blends into the dough, adds flavor and texture, giving this great
all-purpose bread a crisp, golden-brown crust and ivory white crumb. Allow
extra time when making this bread to prepare the rice. All ingredients must
be at room temperature, unless otherwise noted. Add ingredients in the
order specified in your bread machine owner's manual. Set bread machine on
the basic/standard bread making setting. Select medium or normal baking
cycle.  Do not use the programmable timer when making this bread since the
recipe contains perishable ingredients. NOTE; To make the rice: For
2-cup-capacity recipe, bring 3/4 cup of unsalted water to a boil. Add 1/4
cup raw long-grain white rice.  Cover and let simmer until very soft and
kernel ends begin to split.  Drain well. Cool to room temperature before
using.  For 3-cup-capacity recipe, use 1 cup unsalted water and 1/4 xup
plus 2 tablespoons raw long-grain white rice.
Follow same procedure.
