15 Ways to Think More Deeply on the Word of God

How often do you listen to a sermon, or do your daily Bible reading, only to walk away without any idea of what you just listened to or read? That happens to me all the time! I’m notorious for not paying attention, and letting my mind wander.

Now it’s true that every minute we spend in the Bible is valuable, even if we seemingly immediately forget what we heard or read. But how much better it is to think deeply on the Word of God until it completely saturates not just our minds but our hearts as well.

With that in mind, I’d like to offer you 15 ways to think more deeply on the Word of God so that it not only sticks in your head, but also changes your life.
