Beholding God to Become Like Him

The focus is on discovering God’s character and heart in His Word and responding by living in His truth in daily life.

a Biblical Meditation by Raimer Rojas

Biblical Meditation Description:

Behold God and Live It Out is a simple, five-step way to deepen your connection with God by looking at what He does, listening to what He says, learning who He is, loving Him in response, and living out His truth daily. This practice works beautifully with Scripture to meditate on it, helping you uncover God’s character and heart in every passage. But it’s also powerful when applied to real-life moments—when you reflect on a situation or challenge where you sensed God stepping in. By engaging both Bible and life, you train your heart to see God’s presence and guidance all around you, inspiring a faith that’s alive, personal, and transformative.

Inviting Opener:

In the context of introducing this practice to individuals and groups you could say something like this:

“Today, we’re going to learn a simple way to see God more clearly—in His Word and in our everyday lives. This practice helps us notice how God shows up, what He says, who He really is, and how we can live out His truth with our whole heart. Let’s open our eyes and hearts together to behold God and live it out.”
