The goal of Biblical meditation is to fill our mind with the Word of God and involves pondering, thinking deeply, and trying to gain a deeper understanding. This type of meditation actively engages the prefrontal cortex, causing us to gain wisdom, understanding, and self-control while strengthening our mind against the attack of the enemy.
When we meditate on the Scriptures, we are preparing our mind for success. Meditating on God’s Word brings about a renewing of our mind, which causes a change in our behavior.
The objective of meditation is to keep the Word of God in your mind so that it shapes your thinking and transforms your character. This is why memorizing Scripture is important.
“Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”
– John 8:31
