What if we realized that meditating on the Word of God was not merely a cerebral activity of just cognitively recollecting heady theology to oneself? What if we realized that it involved stepping out of the narrow, restrictive, and suffocating perimeters of our own mundane storyline and stepping into a world with a pulsing and absorbing plotline of God's drama-saturated blockbuster, while being accompanied by a gripping soundtrack that beautifully reverberated and amplified the deep, wordless satisfaction of being immersed in the Greatest Story ever written?
"Words have a life. The Word of God is a living and powerful thing. Powerful. Living. Something living has a movement to it."
-Dallas Willard
(1:06 - 1:20)
If we realized this dimension of alive-and-moving scriptural meditation, where the Word of God has a live and pulsing movement in its interactive dynamic due to it truly having a life of its own, we'd be on the cutting edge of the Lord's greatest weapon against a mundane and miserable existence.
