How to Meditate on the Word for Intimacy with God

"...he finds pleasure in obeying the Lord’s commands; he meditates on his commands day and night. He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts." Psalms...

Bible Study Resources

Getting to know God through his word is foundational to building a strong, healthy relationship with Him. Below are some great resources to help you dig into scriptures and develop a deeper understanding.

Blue Letter Bible

Easy tools to drill down to the meaning of the text as it was written and cross-reference for context.

Look at the Book

Pastor John Piper’s series offers invaluable insight into scriptures. Each short video focuses on a single passage. 

Enduring Word

This commentary is so on point. Dive into layers of meaning and history alongside the scriptures. Just Google whatever book and chapter you’re reading + “enduring word” and enjoy!

Bible Project

Fully animated short-form videos explaining the bible by book, character, or theme.

Bible App

The most popular Bible App features a ton of targeted reading plans. The plans usually have devotionals that offer a rich understanding.

Bible Gateway

My favorite thing about BibleGateway.com is that you can pull a single verse up in dozens of translations on one page. It’s beautiful to taste different notes that get lost in translation.

Eat Slowly

Did you know that meditating is compared to chewing something with your mind? More specifically, it is a synonym for ruminating which also refers to “chewing the cud” – a process of eating for optimal digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Below are 3 simple steps to improve your ingestion of God’s word.

Isolate

Be focused.

Internalize

Take it personally.

Invoke

Pray earnestly.

The Word of God is spirit and life (John 6:63); it is living and active (Hebrews 4:12).
