I have recently started reading PRIMAL by Mark Batterson and I am really digging what he has to say about the process of meditating on the Word. Among his insights, one of my favorites is “If the goal of reading is to get through the BIBLE, then the goal of meditation is to get the BIBLE through us.” AWESOME! He writes about the fact that meditation turns our one-dementional knowledge (what we read) into two-dementional understanding. Further more, obedience is three-dementional reality of the impact of God’s word.
This is all coming at a great time as I have also recently began a bible reading plan for the year. I do not simply want to get to the last word of the last day of this plan and look back to see an unchanged life-landscape. What benefit would there be? To say that I have read through the bible in 365 days (8760 hours). Really? That is suppose to be impressive? No, I want to see transformation as a result of alignment with the Word of God that came through meditation and submission.
Are you wanting to see a change in your life? Open the Word of God. Soak in God’s heart as he pours it out from cover to cover. Consider the discrepancies between your heart and his. Make the necessary adjustments.
