Filed under: Sunday Morning Recap
We continued to Dive deep this week as Milfred Minatrea joined us and we looked at how to go deeper into God’s word for personal transformation. We learned that knowledge of the word does not give you control of it, we have to put into practice what we’ve learned from the word. As we read through Psalm 119:97-125 we realized that we can control, is the impact the word has on our lives and that the bible is not just text or a book, it reveals the character of God, it’s a window through which we can see God (2Corinthians 3:18). We looked at the difference in knowledge of the word, knowing what it says, and meditating on the word, reflecting on the word with a view to personal applications. To apply anything in our lives, we first have to understand it, so Milfred gave us some awesome tips to use while we meditate on the word, the key words to remember are know, stop, change and start. KNOW: Is there something God wants you to know from the text you are reading? STOP: What is God revealing to you that you need to stop doing? CHANGE: Is there something in your behavior or attitude that God is calling you to change? START: Is God revealing something you need to start doing in order to reveal His righteousness to the world through your life? In all meditation of the word it’s important to remember that there is always a sin to confess, a promise to claim, an attitude to change, a command to obey and above all an example to follow. I pray that this week we all find the time to slow down and spend time meditating in the word of God.
