What does it mean to "meditate" on scripture?
Biblical meditation means slowly, repeatedly thinking deeply about a specific passage or verse, turning it over mentally, rather than simply reading it once quickly and immediately moving on. Psalm 1:2 describes meditating on God's law "day and night." This is quite different from certain other meditation traditions focused on emptying the mind; biblical meditation instead intentionally fills the mind thoughtfully with scripture's specific content and genuine meaning.
