The Difference Between Reading the Word and Meditating on the Word

"Often reading the Word can be like hurrying through the house with a birthday candle, glancing here and there, catching a glimpse of this and that. But the richness of the Word—its depth and beauty and wonder and majesty—comes only as we take the time to sit with it, ponder it in our minds, and let the Holy Spirit reveal its depths to us." - LeRoy Eims
