Weekly Bible Verse Meditation

 I have been trying to make a decision about my son's schooling lately -christian school (expensive) -homeschool (am I even capable of doing this) -public school (barely even a choice for me but not ruling out just in case God has something planned). Today I was sitting on the internet looking at a blog and stopped for a minute to ask God for help in making this decision. I switched the tab to facebook and my newsfeed had this verse:

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2 (NIV)

As I read it, I started to form a question in my mind "Is this meant for me specifically?". I reposted the verse as my status, read it again, prayed a minute, thought about it for a couple of seconds and went on with my day. The next time I check my newsfeed i see a link: "How to meditate on God's Word"

There are many ways to meditate on God’s Word. Some possibilities include:

1. Take time to read a verse or passage over and over.
2. Begin to memorize all or part of it.
3. Listen—quiet your heart to allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you through God’s Word.
4. Consider how it fits with the rest of the Bible and life in general.
5. Become emotionally involved—allow yourself to feel what God feels, his desires expressed through his words.
6. Move from meditation to application—connect your thoughts to action. Consider how the truth and power of the Word of God should affect your behavior.

Which led me back to the verse so I put 2 and 2 together. So every time I look at my facebook profile I will read the verse. I will write it down on paper over and over while I'm watching Spongebob Squarepants. I may cut some of those out and tape them in random places around the house where I will see them so that the verse is always on my mind. I don't know when God started using facebook but I'm glad he's my friend!
