Читать книгу Reconnect - David Sherbino - Страница 34

• Read the text slowly; remember you are not in a rush.

• Try to engage as much as possible your five senses as you meditate upon the text. Some passages in the Bible enable this process more readily than others. For example Psalm 1 speaks about one who mediates upon the word of God and compares the outcome to a tree planted by rivers of water. It is quite easy to see this picture.

• Some find it helpful to keep a journal and to write down their thoughts. During meditation this has two benefits. First it helps to keep your mind from wandering, and second it enables you to come back to the text at a later date and re-read what God was saying to you in the process.

• Continue to practice meditation; it is not a one off experience. As you become more familiar with this discipline you will discover great benefits.
