Knowing what Puritans meditated on and how they meditated, I have come to realize that my devotion and quiet time is quite shallow in comparison.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How they meditated: - Deliberate
1. Read scripture
2. Memorize something
3. Meditate on everything they knew about it (scripture/the gospel)
4. Go to prayer
5. Make holy resolutions in how to change their lives (think of the application of what they've read)
6. Recorded things on their diary (taking notes on things they have learned)
7. Sing a Psalms
8. Finish their meditation with prayer and giving thanks to the Lord.
What they meditate on:
Four most common subjects in which we should meditate on; all within
the area of eschatology, Heaven, Hell, Death and the Judgement day.
--> Eternity oriented, that this life is ONLY a preparation for our destination!
