Meditating in the Word of God is not reading our examples of our meditating in the Word of God.
It can be helpful to read our examples. But just reading these is not doing meditating in the Word of God.
Each person needs to meditate daily in the Word of God.
This requires you sitting down with the Bible and looking very deeply into those scriptures that stand out to you. And then apply that word in an appropriate manner. It is a very personal thing. You must do your own meditating and not just read our examples of our meditating. I have to eat and drink my own food, and so do you.
So beware: James 1 ... But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
By reading the Bible and meditating in those scriptures that stand out to you and then doing that which is appropriate, you develop your own personal relationship with God and you will grow strong in "The LORD" that way.
If you eat and drink the word of God incorrectly you bring destruction upon yourself according to Paul.
I Cor. 11 ... Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
We eat "unworthily" when we think we have to read the Bible but we want to get on with life so we sit down with Bible and rush through a chapter and then get up without focusing on any scripture and go about our worldly activities.
We examine ourselves each time we take a scripture or a section of scripture and focus on what it is telling us and pray over it and apply it to our lives making appropriate changes in that which we are doing on this earth or thinking of doing.
We judge ourselves each time we pay attention to that scripture that stands out to us as we read the Bible. That scripture is light for us, showing us the way of God. It may end up confirming the direction we are going or it may end up condemning the direction we have chosen. Either way it is light. When we use it correctly we "judge" ourselves in the way we are going on this present earth.
Beware of how you approach the Word of God.
