Summary

Scripture commands us to meditate. It’s not self-focused like other meditation practices; instead, Christian meditation is God-focused. It is lingering, absorbing, and delighting in God and in His Word and allowing gospel truths to transform you. It’s a rich spiritual discipline that moves us from being hearers of God’s Word to doers. In partnership with the Holy Spirit, it is the means to apply Scripture and aids us in our pursuit of Christlikeness.
