God's Word..........

GETTING A HANDLE ON GOD'S WORD

Over time you will learn that there are a variety of "delivery systems" for
God's Word. At times you will simply HEAR the Word as someone like your
pastor speaks on Sunday. At times you might READ through large sections of
the Bible as you would an exciting novel. As you begin to grow you will
probably find yourself wanting to understand the Bible at a more significant
level, so you will begin to STUDY it like a textbook. Your study might
become so exciting that you find a verse or passage that you want to
MEMORIZE...When God begins to speak to you through the Bible you will find
yourself stopping to contemplate and reflect on what you are hearing. This
is the practice of biblical MEDITATION. These five delivery systems will
help get a handle on God's Word.
