Biblical Meditation

Biblical meditation differs significantly from both Bible study and other forms of meditation. Bible reading is a matter of gleaning wisdom from the word of God, whereas Bible meditation opens up a communication and oneness between you and God. You are actively contemplating, examining and striving to understand the concepts of the Bible, and your mind is open to being transformed by that understanding.

Eastern forms of meditation use mantra repetition or intense focus on the breath to remove thoughts from the mind. In effect, this is just what forms of mantra meditation achieve. Because such mantras serve as an escape from reality, they achieve a peace apart from God and reality--rather then peace with God and the world. God's wisdom can be instilled in us. However, Roy Masters' "Be Still and Know" Christian meditation, rather than clearing the mind with other useless thoughts and words, urges us to seek that wisdom by observing our thoughts and reflecting on the inalienable truths of Christian wisdom.

Biblical meditation asks us to seek to discover God's will through Scriptures and then work to fulfill His will. To do so, we must free ourselves from the demands of our egos and break out of conditioned patterns of response. If we respond to the actions of another with anger, resentment, fear or depression, we are not living the Christian ideal of forgiveness and acceptance.

"Be Still and Know" takes as its goal the separation of emotion from thought. As you examine an emotion such as anger, you'll come to see that it is your conditioned response to an external stimulus. That response can't be repressed or denied, but you can simply let it go. Visit the FHU website for more information and a free download of a guided meditation.
