My Bible, journal, and current book I can't put down
What does it mean to meditate on God's Word?
It's less about thinking, and more about listening to God through the words of Scripture. It's allowing the passage to sink into your soul and memory. It's about sewing up the seams of your scattered pieces with God's Word, and equipping yourself with the wisdom you will need at some point soon, when the devil comes along trying to challenge your faith. That darkness can be thwarted by your shining light, which comes from knowing God's Word and living it in faith. Constantly growing will be the opposition, so a constant growth in Godly wisdom should be an everyday goal.
Stop and listen. Ponder in your heart.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer says "...just as you do not analyse the words of someone you love, but accept them as they are said to you, accept the Word of Scripture and ponder it in your heart, as Mary did. That is all. That is meditation."
