Bible Meditation

I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. Psalm 119:15

What does it mean to meditate on the word of God? The dictionary defines the word “meditate” as: “to focus one’s thoughts on, reflect on or ponder over.” For me, I consider meditating on God’s word as a slower form of Bible study. It’s a time where I slowly chew and savor the Word. I don’t want to rush through so as to miss something. And I prayerfully wait to learn from Him what I need to get from the passage.

Martin Luther considered prayer and meditation as being closely intertwined. They go together. He wrote a letter to his barber who had asked him how to pray. This letter was turned into a book titled, “A Simple Way to Pray.”
