“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:8-9).

 

 

But if my thoughts are contrary to God’s, then I must exchange my thinking with God’s and for that process, He has given us His inspired, inerrant, and authoritative Word. So what is our need? We are to study the Scripture, but for that to be effective, we also need to develop the art of biblical meditation.

 

 

Eastern meditation is to empty your mind and allow any thoughts into it. But biblical meditation is to chew on Gods word and allow his thoughts to permeate your heart and spirit! 

 

What is the benefit of biblical meditation?

Greater insight into his word.

Better understanding of how to apply it to ones life.

Deepens our desire for worship and communion with Christ.

Brings greater life to our daily walk- encouraging.

Transformation of our mind, desires and vision for our life.

 

 

Basic steps:

What does the text say?

What did it mean in that context?

What does it mean to me?

What are greater insights God may give me?

Chew on it for a day, a week or even longer.
