Make it to the Thumb


This Sunday I mentioned the scripture hand from Navigators. I first saw this hand back when I was a freshman in College. It gives a good overview of how a Christian exposes themselves to the scripture as well as the reason for pursuing this exposure in such an intentional way. All of our hearing, reading, studying, and memorizing leads us to the "thumb" which is meditation. Psalm 1:2,3 says this about meditation:

1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

I pray that this week we'll all make it to the thumb.
