Meditating ~ thinking through the truths of Scripture in a systematic way. It is line upon line. Isaiah 28:10. It is not mindless, it is purposeful, mindful, and intentional. It is very focused and strategic.

Have you ever listened to someone talk and your mind wandered? Then they asked you a question and you never heard them. Why? We did not discipline our mind to stay on task. Isaiah 55:3 says, “Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live.” 

Incline means to listen favorably. Tuning out a truth will cause us to veer off course. Paul said that he preached the whole counsel of God. Acts 20:27. When we read God’s word systematically, we are bringing in His whole counsel. Picking and choosing what to believe will bring us into doctrinal error. Meditating organizes our mind through disciplined thought patterns.
