This year a group of G3 girlfriends have been meeting once a month on a Saturday afternoon to study God's Word. Jamee has taught us several study principles and techniques along with sharing some great study guide recommendations.
I read a devotional this morning by Henry & Richard Blackaby that talked about how critical meditation is to the Christian life. Psalm 1:2 says, "But her delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law she meditates day and night."
Blackabys state, "Meditation means 'to think deeply and continuously about something.' For a Christian, this means remaining in the presence of God and pondering each truth He reveals about Himself until it becomes real and personal in your life.
This certainly takes time and practice. But, when God's truth is allowed to touch the deepest corner of your soul, the Holy Spirit will transform you into the image of Jesus Christ."
I immediately thought of our monthly Bible study and how we read and study and take notes, but do we really "meditate" on the Word? Do we sit and be still before the Word that we've just studied? I do think about it...but do I meditate on it..."deeply and continuously?"
A challenge for us all.
