What is meditating on the Word of God?
Let's start by defining the term meditate. In a Christian sense, meditation is the deep and continuous reflection of the Word of God, the purpose of meditation is to strengthen our spiritual life through communion with God.
In (Joshua 1: 8) the Lord tells us that we must meditate day and night in the book of the law (the bible), we must keep it and do what is written in it. The same thing tells us the word in the (Psalm 119: 15). It is important to reflect on the teachings that the Bible gives us, in order to understand clearly what God wants for us. Also meditating on the word of God strengthens us spiritually and our mind is renewed.
Psalm 119: 27
«Make me understand the way of your commandments,
To meditate on your wonders."
In order to meditate on the Word of God, we must be willing to read the Bible daily. It is also necessary to pray before starting to read our Bible, this guarantees us that the Holy Spirit will guide us and give us an understanding of what we are going to read.

When we find a verse that impacts us or a portion of the bible that jumps out at us, we will keep it in our thoughts during the day because when we are constantly thinking about what we read it gives us peace, tranquility and joy, since it is the Lord who is talking.

The bible tells us in (Psalms 1: 2) that we must meditate day and night on His law, because there is our delight.
