Study

Study
The mind taking on an order conforming to the order of whatever we concentrate upon.

The discipline of study first demands a humble spirit, recognizing that the chief end is not merely to amass information, but to experience it, learn from it and be changed by it.  It is vital to study not only books, but also those things around us such as nature, relationships, events, and cultural values.  Through the steps of study—repetition, concentration, comprehension, and reflection—a person emerges transformed, in awe of the beauty of God and the world around them.

 

Remember that the key to the Discipline of study is not reading many books, but experiencing what we do read.
~ Richard J. Foster, Celebration of Discipline
