2nd strategy
Meditation in  WORSHIP
​

---

God is able to speak to us through those words that we read and reread, as we think about what we have read and ponder those words infiltrate our minds and change us. They give us a better understanding of what God is saying in His word. Through that better understanding we begin to think differently, and our attitudes and lives change. Even our actions toward ourselves, others and the world change to be more Christlike.

And isn't that what Christians desire? To be Christ like. To be Christ followers. To know God.

With these precepts or tenets in place, let us begin with 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.

47. "Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a fishing net that was thrown into the water and caught fish of every kind.
48. When the net was full, they dragged it up onto the shore, sat down, and sorted the good fish into crates, but threw the bad ones away.
49. That is the way it will be at the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous,
50. throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
51. Do you understand all these things?"

"Yes," they said, "we do."

52. Then he added, "Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old."
Matthew 13:47-52 NLT
