11th strategy.
Reading... Simple Act of Meditation

Simple acts of meditation are not difficult.
If they were difficult God would not encourage every person to do them.
They are sometimes uncomfortable.
But they are always profitable.
They bring us closer to the heart of God. We are to Hide His Words In Our Hearts.

• Take this time to read the passage one time through.
• Then go back and read every verse separately.
• After reading one verse just close your eyes and think about the words for a few seconds. When you are no longer considering the sweetness of God's word to you, move to the next verse.
• Continue through the passage. 
  • Loving HIM is the purpose. 
  • Getting to know HIM is the purpose. 
  • Allowing Him to take the day and use us in this day is the purpose. 
  • Finding the sweetness He desires to impart is the joy.
• Thank God for coming and bringing his Holy Presence into your day.
