The Discipline of the Scriptures
Read the Word
Memorize the Word
Meditate on the Word
āIt is written, āMan shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.ā ā
āMatthew 4:4
Ā
As we have just seen in Revelation 10:8-11, Jesus shows the way to God, and the way to God is eating His Word. I pray that you can joyfully identify with Jeremiah in this verse: Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart ā¦ (Jeremiah 15:16). His passion for God and His Word was consistently, and relentlessly, demonstrated throughout his life as Godās prophet.
Wouldnāt you like to capture that same passion in your own life? It all starts by disciplining yourself to spend time listening to God speak to you! To help you start cultivating such a time with the Lord, letās look at three areas of spiritual discipline: (1) reading Godās Word; (2) memorizing Godās Word; and (3) meditating upon Godās Word.
