Meditate on Scripture
Listen—to actively engage in hearing, giving thoughtful attention.
All Scripture is inspired by God. When we read or listen to God’s Word—and when we then actively reflect on what it says—over time, we learn to recognize God’s voice. Purposeful time in the Bible requires making it a priority to focus on just being with Jesus.
When you read or listen to Scripture, give it enough time and space to really let the words, the meaning, the tone, and the context wash over you. YouVersion offers hundreds of audio versions of the Bible, so it’s easy to just press Play and listen.
If you have a Google or Amazon voice activated device, you might enjoy listening to Psalms with YouVersion Rest. Simply try one of the following:
“Ok Google, open YouVersion Rest.”
“Alexa, open YouVersion Rest.”
(You can also find our YouVersion Rest Playlist on YouTube, and try our YouVersion Rest Video Collection inside the Bible App.)
Reflect: Set aside 30 minutes today to read or listen to God’s Word. During that time, snooze your calendar and notifications. Take notes and journal your thoughts.
About this Plan
Study after study tells us that rest is critical for our physical, mental, and emotional health. Rest matters so much to God that He even made it one of His commandments. We know we should rest—so why don’t we? In this simple 5-day Plan, we’ll look at why, when, where, and how we should rest, and even with whom.
