Whitney (page 44-45), Spiritual Disciplines For The Christian Life, taught me that Memorizing Scripture stimulates Scripture Meditation. He recommended using picture references to memorize Scripture. For example, memorizing Psalm 119:11, I picture a Bible with a heart on it that reminds me to store up God’s Word in my heart, so I will not sin against Him. I also try to put the Scripture Reference in the picture sometimes, until I feel I know it.
What Should I Ponder at Bedtime?
We can’t ignore our problems. We do need to get a plan and then take action. We just need to pray before we even start to plan. We also need our rest and a good night’s sleep to stay healthy. We know King David had his share of problems. Yet, King David would meditate on God’s Word at night on his bed. His Psalms are great advice! We need to meditate on Scripture by savoring each word by saying it slowly, and also saying it at a normal speed as God writes it on our heart and mind.
Focus on God
Holy Father, Please give me wisdom and sanctify me in Your Holiness through Jesus the Christ. Help me Focus on Jesus and meditate on Your Holy Word and receive the blessing You have for me. Help me end each day wrapped in Your Love and Grace as I meditate on the Words You have written on my heart and mind. Amen.
