12th strategy.
History - So, now I know where it is.
​

Again, I would like to emphasize, simple acts of meditation are not so much difficult, as uncomfortable.
God wants you to know how His story happened.
How He created the earth, made his children, and how traditions became interwoven into his family.

• Open your heart. Begin with confession. 
• Ask God to prompt you to hear Him and what He wants you to come away with.
• Read the passage.
• Does this passage answer questions or lay down foundations of traditions you have often wondered about?
• Read the passage again.
• Take a moment to highlight the verses that answer a question you have often wondered about.
• Has a particular spiritual practice been born out these particular passages. If so, write the spiritual practice down, and then the scripture book and numbers corresponding to it. 
• You might consider writing this in the margin of your bible. or even in the inside cover for future reference.
• End by asking God to reveal to you the reasons for His traditions. Is there a meaning that applies to you today?
• Don't forget to thank God for being with you right where you are, right now.
