Day 298 - The Bible: Meditate on It What does it mean to meditate on Scripture? “The word meditation in Scripture is literally the word for a cow chewing its cud. That’s actually a pretty good metaphor. Read the Scripture passage a first time. Then read it a second time. Read it a third time. Like many people during grief, you are being bombarded by so many different emotions, thoughts, relatives coming, and things to do that your attention span gets shriveled. Take the time to meditate on Scripture,” says Dr. John Trent. Reflect on God’s Word. Examine it. Question it. Remember it. Always pray. “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8). “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night” (Psalm 1:2). Lord God, may Your Word be my delight as I “chew” on it daily. Amen.
