Southside is challenging you to make a daily habit of Biblical Meditation in 2025.

How to Practice Meditation

Read a portion of Scripture

Use one of the Bible reading plans below. General rule: Read a lot, meditate on a little. Try to use a plan that will expose you to a chapter or more each day.

Return to a key insight

Choose one or at most two things in the reading that struck you to meditate on.

Reflect through asking questions

  • How can I praise God in response?

  • What do I need to confess and repent of?

  • How can I thank Jesus as the fulfillment of this?

  • How can I live in the light of this?

Respond to God in prayer

Talk to God about what he has said to you in his word.
