DevotionalIn our fast-paced world, we often rush through our spiritual practices, treating Bible reading as just another task to check off our daily list. But God calls us to something deeper - a transformative engagement with His Word through biblical meditation. This isn't about emptying our minds like Eastern meditation practices, but rather filling our minds with God's truth. When we slow down and truly absorb Scripture, allowing it to penetrate our hearts, we begin to see life through God's perspective. Think of it like savoring a delicious meal rather than rushing through fast food. Each word becomes nourishment for our soul, sustaining us through life's challenges.

Bible Verse

"Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers." - Psalm 1:1-3
