Biblical Meditation

By Thomas à KempisSource: Thomas à Kempis - The Imitation of Christ (adapted) (Public Domain)Short42 words

Christian meditation is not emptying the mind but filling it with Scripture. We meditate on God's word by reading it slowly, pondering it deeply, speaking it softly, and applying it personally. In meditation, the word moves from our heads to our hearts.
