Making Bible Reading an Act of Worship

Here is a tip from theologian author, J.I. Packer for you to keep in mind as you read the Bible (and always remind yourself of what the Bible is: It is the revelation of the nature, character, ways and will of the God who designed us, created us, and even now sustains us).

“How can we turn our knowledge about God into knowledge of God? The rule for doing this is simple but demanding. It is that we turn each Truth that we learn about God into matter for meditation before God, leading to prayer and praise to God.” (J.I. Packer in Knowing God)

So as you read, ask yourself, "What is this passage teaching me about God ... His nature, character, ways and will?" Then take your answer and spend some time mentally chewing on it (which is what meditation is all about, chewing over something in your mind). Finish up with prayer and praise concerning whatever it is about God upon which you have been mediating. Do this, and your Bible reading will be much richer!
