Meditation: Gazing on God

In a sense, meditation is finding verses in the Bible and putting our names in them.

Meditate on Scripture Consider meditating on Scriptures that focus on the virtue you want to construct in your life.

Third, focus meditation on the works of God. The psalmist expressed, “I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings” (Ps. 77:12).

However, meaningful meditation requires a concentration not often developed in our fast-paced, media-distracted society. Perhaps the most valuable contribution the Discipline of journaling makes to the pursuit of godliness is how it facilitates meditation on Scripture, especially the ability to intensify attention on the text.

The third suggestion is to find at least one word, phrase, or verse to meditate on each time you read.
