How To Ponder The Bible?

(Meditate, Contemplate, consider, study etc.)

1. Pray - Intentionally ask God to help you understand, believe, and apply the Bible Truths you read.
2. Read the Bible - Regularly, over and over and over - (pray and read a Bible passage over and over seeking to have a sense of what the text itself is actually saying)
3. Ask questions - such as:
   ? What do the words mean in this context?
   ? Why are these words used and not others?
   ? What does the rest of the Bible say about these ideas?
   ? What does this teach me about GOD, the World (others) and Myself?
   ? What do other Believers think about this text? (check your observations with others)
4. Pray and thank God for teaching and growing you?
