Peace Through ScriptureNäide

 Somebody once told me an acronym about how to get more of God's word into me.

Most people do good at getting INTO God's Word but they don't do a good job of getting God's Word into THEM.

The acronym was HEART. Each letter stands for a discipline that is important.

H is for Hear as in listening to sermons

E is for Examine as in reading

A is for Analyze or study.

R is for Remember as in memorizing

T is for Think or meditate

They told me that the first four letters are for the four fingers of your hand. And they are very helpful and all necessary to get a balanced understanding of God's word.

The last letter is for your Thumb. Imagine picking up a Bible without the thumb.

So, memorizing God's Word allows you to spend more time meditating on it therefore you can apply it more.

James 1:25 has all 5 of the HEART METHODS in it.
