How to meditate on the word of God

Wondering how to meditate on the word of God? Firstly, find a nice, quiet spot where you won’t be interrupted, grab your bible, and choose a verse that resonates strongly with you. Memorize that verse over and over, reflect on God’s chosen words, and try to figure out what the passage means to you.

You can meditate on the word of God similarly to how you usually meditate. Instead of choosing a guided meditation or perhaps trying to focus on your breath, pay close attention to a verse from the Bible that you wish to bring forth into your life. The day and night verse is a great option when starting out.

• As Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV) notes, “Blessed is the one […] whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.”

By meditating on the word of God, you develop a closer connection to the universe and a greater force you believe in. As a result, you feel more in tune with your spirituality, body, soul and peace. You have more trust in your faith, which works as a form of manifestation, as belief is everything when it comes to working with a higher power.

You can meditate on the bible’s day and night verse, which reads:

Joshua 1:8:This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

The new, international version of this passage states, as per the Bible Passage:

“Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” This passage encourages continuous reflection, and by meditating on it day and night, we align our actions with its wisdom, leading to prosperity.

Universal law, a God, a higher force, whatever you believe in: meditating can be used as a form of manifestation. By visualising and focusing on a certain positive outcome, you work with not just God but the law of attraction. By putting more positive vibrations out into the world, they come back to you tenfold.

You can also apply the word of God to your own life, by comparing the passage to your own behaviours. For example, it’s not as powerful if you only focus on that verse during meditation for 30 minutes. It works far better if you remind yourself of the verse while you consciously go about your day.

It may help to write the verse down on post-it notes and stick them around your house: the mirror, on the back of doors, and perhaps on the lock screen of your phone. Even if you get used to the notes being there, you subconsciously reading them will help keep them in the forefront of your mind.
