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.

A Message from our Provider:

“Do you only BELIEVE in God? How about loving him!”

“Growth in grace” pleases God. It may seem a wonderful thing, no doubt, that anything done by such creatures as we are can give pleasure to the Most High God. But so it is. The Scripture speaks of walking so as to “please God.” The Scripture says there are sacrifices with which “God is well-pleased.” (1 Thes. 4:1; Heb. 13:16.) The husbandman loves to see the plants on which he has bestowed labor flourishing and bearing fruit. It cannot but disappoint and grieve him to see them stunted and standing still. Now what does our Lord Himself say? “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” - “Herein is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:1, 8.) The Lord takes pleasure in all His people - but specially in those that grow.
