Meditating on the Word of God

I thought I'd switch things up today so I'm bringing you the words of my pastor, Rev. Freddy Noble (in translation). Every week he includes a little something to think about so I'd like to share (an adaptation of) one with you.

Enjoy, and have a blessed day!

Meditation on the Word of God
Rev. Freddy Noble

One of the keys to a happy life is meditation on the Word of God. The Bible shouldn't be read in a casual or superficial manner, or on the run. The sacred scriptures are the revelation of God to believers and as such, we should treat them with reverence and care. Study of the sacred book should be accompanied by reflection on what God is trying to tell you and in what specific way you can apply the message to your life.

To meditate is to continuously think about something, much in the way that cows ruminate (is that a word??) their food. When you read the Word of God, do it with the desire to understand God's will and to do what he says. That's why true study can't, for example, entail a quick 10 minute skim of a few chapters. Think about what you've read while you're reading and come back and think about it later as well, so that God can reveal the blessings he has for you :-).

Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
