- Passages that have been impactful to you in your devotional times are a great place to start.
- Passages that give key insights into who God is, what God has done, our relationship to God, or living as a child of God are very helpful.
- Try meditating on different genres: poetry, prose, narrative, parables/metaphors, etc.
- Generally, shorter passages are easier to dwell on, 1-10 verses can be a helpful rule of thumb. You may find it helpful to break up longer passages and meditate on the individual sections over a few days.
