Meditate on the Word of God

It is imperative that when reading the Bible that one take time and think about what they are reading. That is to say meditate on it so you don't miss something important that is right in front of your eyes. Meditation is the chewing over again of the cud so to speak in order to get all that is in it.
I have found that a lot of folks read but don't really read for comprehension. They read like they are in a hurry. I learned how to scan things for fast reading in college but when one reads the Bible they should read it to get the most out of every word. God does not waste Words. He sent His Word to heal. When He sends the Word in does't return to Him void but it accomplishes what He sent it forth to do.
Ephesians 1:3 says a lot but it is read over fast because it has become a familiar passage and some things are missed because of it. (Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.)
I just want to give a small example of what I am talking about here. The word "all" is read over as If it were not significant. It is a powerful word that brings something to mind if you don't rush by it. All not some spiritual blessings. God doesn't hold anything back but makes all that is in the realm of spiritual blessing available to us. Think about this and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into finding out what these blessing are.
I am awe struck at the fact that God makes "all" available to me. Such knowledge is encouraging to me and causes me to want to know more of what God has for me.
Are you hungry for the fullness of God's Word to nourish your soul and spirit.
I hope you are challenged to find more when you read of the un searchable riches of God!

God bless you richly

Pastor Kitner
