The art of meditation is an important exercise everyone needs to get involved in. Meditation means thinking deeply, focusing the mind for a period of time.
If all you do is just read the bible and move along, you can never really understand the contents. Proper understanding starts from reading and re-reading the contents, carefully meditating upon it until it clicks.
“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” – Joshua 1:8 (NLT)
“Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.” – Psalms 119: 97 (NLT)
You have to stop reading the bible because you have to, you need to read the bible with a sincere motive of “I want to experience God for myself”.
The reason you seem to not have enough of God on the inside of yourself is because you do not have enough understanding of the scriptures and these deep understanding will only come when you meditate upon what the scriptures is really saying and how you might apply it into your life.
It is the application of these principles into your life that brings good success. That is what the bible says in Joshua 1:8; it says YOU will make your own way prosperous. That is a personal responsibility for you to do.
The more you meditate upon the scriptures, the more of it that will be inside your consciousness.
