What is Biblical Meditation?

Biblical meditation is thinking and pondering on God’s Word.  Biblical meditation is not repeated mantras, mind-emptying, or mere “mindfulness”. It is a thoughtful and purposeful act that can be done anywhere or any time. It is focused, prayerful and reflective time spent actively filling our minds with God’s Word.

Show me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. – Psalm 25:4-6
