2nd strategy
Meditation in  WORSHIP

• Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
• Read a passage of the Scripture
• Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
• Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
• Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
• Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
• Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
• Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
• Thank God for His presence this moment.

7. Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment — to love one another — is the same message you heard before.
8. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.

9. If anyone claims, "I am living in the light," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is still living in the darkness
10. Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.
11. But anyone who hates another brother or sister is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.

12. I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
13. I am writing to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning.
I am writing to you who are young in the faith because you have won your battle with the evil one.
14. I have written to you who are God's children because you know the Father.
I have written to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong.
God's word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.
1 John 2:7-14 NLT
