Here is a project I'm working on for church...
Feed on the Word of God
Listening to Jesus in His revealed Scripture.
First, begin with prayer
- Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand what He has for you in His truth.
- Read the passage you are going to study, slowly.
- What key phrase or word jumps out at you?
Second, meditate or study God's Word
- Seek after the meaning of the text that God inspired the human author to write.
- Ask questions of the text to help you comprehend the passage:
- What does the text say? What are the key words?
- What is the main point? What is the meaning of the text?
- What truths are here? What ideas are supporting the main point?
- What does the text say? What are the key words?
Third, pray the text
- Respond by expressing your thoughts back to God.
- Adore Him, thank Him let His thoughts be your thoughts as you talk to Him in prayer.
Fourth, contemplate and apply the passage
- Memorize a verse or two of the passage that specifically spoke to you.
- How does this passage apply to your life? Is there something new to know, be or do from this passage? Is the Spirit leading to change a behavior in your life?
- Now that you have worked on the text, let the text work on you: rest in God's truth. Do not be in such a hurry to get on with your day. Hang out with Jesus!
