Christ-centered Meditation

In this meditation we continue walking through the books of the Bible and contemplating particular sections. Today we contemplate how the Word of God is food for our souls and then we focus our attention on Exodus 20:1-17. In a book called “The Desire of Ages” Ellen G White writes, “ As our physical life is sustained by food, so our spiritual life is sustained by the word of God. And every soul is to receive life from God's word for himself. As we must eat for ourselves in order to receive nourishment, so we must receive the word for ourselves. We are not to obtain it merely through the medium of another's mind. We should carefully study the Bible, asking God for the aid of the Holy Spirit, that we may understand His word. We should take one verse, and concentrate the mind on the task of ascertaining the thought which God has put in that verse for us. We should dwell upon the thought until it becomes our own, and we know “what saith the Lord.” DA 390.4 This is the thirteenth episode and we will be reading fro
