“So when it comes to God’s word, maybe it’s less about 1.5x-ing it and more about slowing things down; giving ourselves completely to meditating deeply, slowly, carefully, so that God’s word captivates our minds and moves our hearts. That’s biblical meditation. And that’s what this book is about. Biblical meditation will help you to go deeper into God’s word, and God’s word to go deeper into you. It’s a way to listen carefully, memorise, chew over and digest slowly what the Lord is saying to you. Biblical meditation will still your mind. It’s an opportunity to dial down the volume on your frantic thought-life and rest in God’s unchanging truth. So that even when the Bible is not open in front of you, God’s words are still at the forefront of your mind. Biblical meditation will fill your heart. It means listening in a way that impacts us deeply, so that we keep thinking about it throughout the day; soaking in God’s truth so that it moves us to delight, empowers us to obey and enables us to hold fast.”
