朋友們好：

你知道嗎，上帝對我們的默想很感興趣？世界上有很多關於默想的壞例子。像往常一樣，魔鬼總是扭曲上帝為我們創造的好事物，試圖把它變成新時代或類似的事物。默想是在聖經。

如果你讀詩篇第1篇，說："惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福！他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所做的盡都順利。"（第2-3節）。這就是所謂的符合聖經的默想。

你也可以在新約中看到它，在《腓立比書》4:8中，保羅說："弟兄們，我還有未盡的話：凡是真實的、可敬的、公義的、清潔的、可愛的、有美名的，若有什麼德行，若有什麼稱讚，這些事你們都要思念。"

你需要用神的話語來默想，希伯來書中說，神的話語是"......的道是活潑的，是有功效的，比一切兩刃的劍更快，甚至魂與靈，骨節與骨髓，都能刺入、剖開，連心中的思念和主意都能辨明。......"（希伯來書4:12）。

在我們的默想中，神向我們顯示事物是屬我們肉體或魂；和屬於聖靈或我們的靈；以及屬於魔鬼之間的區別。神希望我們有分辨力，而分辨力是通過真正的聖經默想來實現的。因此，默想神的話語，並認識到這是一種祝福，是神賜予的禮物。

默想是將經文吸收到你的心中，並進入神的同在的流動中的一個可靠方法，使用以下實用的步驟:

1. 打開一些樂器的浸泡音樂。
2. 求神賜給你一句話，讓你專注於此。
3. 找到關於這句話的經文。
4. 默誦這段經文。
5. 記下神對你說的內容。

HOW TO ABSORB THE SCRIPTURES
JOHN BELT

Hello Friends,

Did you know that God is into our meditation? There have been so many bad examples of meditation in the world. And, as usual, the devil always takes something that's good, something that God created for our benefit, and twists it – tries to make it New Age or something like that. Mediation is in the Bible.

If you read Psalm 1, it says, "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree that's planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper" (verses 2-3). That is called biblical meditation.

You can see it in the New Testament too, in Philippians 4:8, where Paul says, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."

Meditation is something you will need to do with the Word of God, which the book of Hebrews says is "...quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit..." (Hebrews 4:12).

In our meditation, God is showing us the difference between that which is our flesh or soul, and that which is of the Spirit or of our spirit, and that which is of the devil. God wants us to have discernment, and it comes through true biblical meditation. So meditate on the Word of God and realize that it's a blessing and a God-given gift.

Meditation is a sure way to absorb the Scriptures into your heart and move into the flow of God's presence! Use these practical steps:

1. Turn on some instrumental soaking music.
2. Ask God for ONE WORD to focus on.
3. Find a scripture that speaks about that word.
4. Rehearse the scripture.
5. Take notes on what God is speaking to you about it.
