I realized recently that I had never understood the real meaning of the word 'meditative' even when I thought I had. Meditative reading for me, meant thinking the Bible passages over in my head after reading and then trying to grasp the inner meaning....until recently.
Two months ago, I attended an 'Encounter' weekend at church and everything changed. I found myself lingering over every word I read, gone was the underlying rush to get through the passage, as if there was a prize for finishing a chapter or even a punishment for not finishing. Instead, a few verses a day was all it took to make me sit and meditate on the depth of the verses and ask for more insight from the Spirit; which I often received, sometimes a few days later.
Try it...sit still and read pleasurably and deeply, ignoring the thousand and one things shouting for your attention in your head. After a while you'll win the battle, and eventually the war - with greater insight and wisdom to show for it!
