Let\u2019s take this meditate-percolate idea a step further. (If you\u2019re a tea drinker, substitute the word brew<\/i>.) Maybe this will help you ease into meditation instead of feeling overwhelmed by the thought that you don\u2019t have the time or discipline to do it. This is not an all-or-nothing challenge. Take small steps. If you have only ten minutes, maximise each one of them. You don\u2019t have to read ten chapters of your Bible. You\u2019re not doing a book report for school, and you\u2019re not going to be graded on a test. <\/p>\n
God\u2019s Word is so rich with truths that you can take one verse, one phrase or one idea and let it percolate and brew in your mind, whether you have ten minutes or two hours. Instead of watching TV or constantly checking your phone for messages, just sit still, drink your coffee or tea, and let God\u2019s indwelling Spirit interpret, enlarge, and enrich His Word as you roll it over and over in your mind. Think about it when driving or during lunch or coffee breaks. Some days you will feel like you have hit the jackpot spiritually; other days you will feel like you have added a little more to your basic Bible knowledge. Consistency is the key. Move slowly from one verse to the next, meditating and considering God\u2019s ways as you go. Do this for one year, and you will have 365 Scriptural insights to draw on. Can you see how this could change your life for the better?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
