The Beauty Of Biblical Meditation : Counseling Your Mind Through The Scriptures

Biblical Meditation is commanded in Scripture, but Bible Memory is not. This is not a statement to discourage Bible memory, but rather it is meant to encourage Bible Meditation. Biblical Meditation is: "To dwell, ponder, muse, think upon or linger upon the truths given us in God's Word until our hearts are affected by them." You will find Biblical Meditation to be one of the most powerful and beneficial disciplines that you will ever learn. It changes the heart more effectively than anything else we do. The key word in the above definition is the word "until." This is more than a cursory glance at Scripture or a "read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year" program. Biblical Meditation is beautiful because it involves a deliberate, prolonged gaze whereby our hearts are moved and stirred by the Holy Spirit as He changes us through the Living Word of God. He impresses and imprints the truths of Scripture on us and stirs our affections for Jesus Christ. Biblical Meditation is about application, not just academic or intellectual exercises.
