This has been very helpful, my mind is alway's thinking about things that do not line up with the word of God, meditating should put me back on focus, and instead of having a racing mind thinking about everything i have no buisness thinking about, I can replace the thoughts with the thoughts of God, and hear his voice a little clearer!

I enjoy the "lectio divina" approach to Scripture and think it is beneficial. I would also suggest to read Scripture in large chunks or entire books at a time. It takes a bit of the focus off of "me" and what do these select verses say to "me" and instead puts the emphasis on what does the entire Bible or book of the Bible say/mean.

It can be easy to miss seeing and understanding better the whole forest (Bible) because we put to much emphasis at time on studying a specific tree (couple verses or chapter).

Having recently been hugely unsettled by the 'emerging church/meditation/new age' discussion elsewhere, I have found this posting to be absolutely wonderful. I want to thank you as it has given me an answer I was seeking. The 'discussion' was really throwing me for a loop and your post was such a wonderful fresh breath of air. Sometimes I like to make things soooo complicated when they just arent.
Thanks for all the comments as well. They have helped also with clarification.
Blessings.

I recently learned what it means to meditate on God's word. I'm a slow learner. Anyway, one of the pastor's wives gave me her method. Read a portion of scripture and then with pen in hand, write down what God is like, what needs to change in me, and what can I do today to effect that change… It has been amazing! It has really helped me focus on Him and how He wants me to live my life for His glory.

Thanks for this post. I took Dr. Joel Beeke's work from the Puritan's and broke it down: How To Meditate On Scripture Interesting approaches.

Great post, thank you.

I have a stack of index cards with verses on them.

In addition to memorization, I read the verses out loud and meditate on them.

Lately, I've been going right into my prayer time and praying the verses for people and myself

Rewriting Scripture…kind of like The Message right? Good idea because it forces you to REALLY think through the meaning.
