Meditating on the Word of God

[Debp]

I find it helpful to memorize some Bible verses and to meditate upon then (think upon them).

I think they can then be helpful in various situations.... recalling a verse to mind.

Sometimes it's good to just be quiet and to mull over a couple of verses at a time. It seems to go deeper into one that way...just my experience and thoughts.

What are your thoughts on verses helping you through tough times?

I think what you say is true. Along these lines, I subscribe to Our Daily Bread, which is a convenient way to engage with a verse or two every day, with a short practical application that puts the verses in context. https://odb.org/.

I use that devotional and a couple of days ago I read to the end of Numbers 11 and came across a verse about craving other food leading to death. I started a thread about it.

I still use it. It's free and now they send me the large print version.

I've never been great at memorising verses apart from the ones that have spoken to me in particular circumstances. Sites like biblegateway are really useful though if you know somethings in there but can't rememeber where.

These are a couple of my favorite verses for comfort:

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9

For Thou will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalm 18:28

It’s extremely useful, difficult to do when the body is weak but the spirit is willing.

When one reads the entire Bible, which doesn't take that long, one acquires many tools.
