Meditation

Going beyond reading is meditating on
what you have read…

(G3191) meditate:
to be of interest, to concern oneself. To consider, weigh or ponder over something so as to be able to perform well;
Syn: to study or show diligence; to exercise thought; to observe, keep, preserve; to exercise.

Excerpt from Bullingers on “How To Read The Bible”:

"Only now can they know "the God of Peace" (Rom. xv. 33)". On page 416, he says regarding those who know that "peace": Only such have leisure to be occupied with God.

Only such can "sit at the Lord's feet and hear His Word" (Luke 10:39).

All others must be "cumbered about with much serving." They must needs be occupied with themselves; either as sinners taken up with their sins, or as penitents with their repentance, or as believers with their faith, or as saints with their holiness.
