Hearing

godly pastors and
teachers provides
insight into others'
study of the Scriptures
as well as stimulating
your own appetite for
the Word.
Reading
Revelation 1:3
Reading the Bible gives
an overall picture of
God's Word. Many people
find it helpful to use a
daily reading program
which takes them
systematically through
the Bible.
Studying
Acts 17:11
Studying the Scriptures
leads to personal
discoveries of God's
truths. Writing down
these discoveries helps
you organize and
remember them.
Memorizing
Psalm 119:9; 11
Memorizing God's Word
enables use of the Sword
of the Spirit to
overcome Satan and
temptations...to have it
readily available for
witnessing or helping
others with a "word in
season."
Meditation
Psalm 1:2, 3
Meditation is the thumb
of the Word Hand, for it
is used in conjunction
with each of the other
methods. Only as you
meditate on God's Word —
thinking of its meaning
and application in your
life — will you discover
its transforming power
at work within you. |
