Reflection
This technique for meditating on scripture is based on the writings of Martin Luther. The three main steps in the middle allow you to think about how the verse directly impacts your life and what you can learn from it.
1. Key words
Focus in on one verse and highlight and define any words that you don’t understand or that stand out to you for another reason.
2. Instruction / Learning
What is the verse telling you to do/ what instruction can you gain from it?
What can the verse teach you about God or yourself?
3. Thanksgiving
What in the verse causes you to be thankful to God?
4. Confession
What could this verse lead you to confess? What do you have to bring to God and ask forgiveness for?
5. Pray it through
