</p><p>The Navigators illustrate this by saying that as the thumb can touch all
18
the fingers, we can meditate on the Word as we do any of the first four.

Meditation is a key to revelation. A new Christian needs to hear and read the
20
Bible more than they need to study and memorize it. This is so that they become
21
familiar with the overall message of the Bible.</p></div></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div style="position: absolute; left: 20px;"><a accesskey="p" href="h2-basics.html">Prev</a></div><div style="position: absolute; right: 20px;"><a accesskey="n" href="h2-basics-types.html">Next</a></div><div align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></div></div><div style="background-color: #white; color: black; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;"><div class="navLeft">Bible Study Basics </div><div class="navRight"> Types of Bible Studies</div><div class="navCenter"><a accesskey="u" href="h2-basics.html">Up</a></div></div><br><br><div class="bannerBottom" style="background-image: url(help:/common/bottom-middle.png); background-repeat: x-repeat; width: 100%; height: 100px; bottom:0px;"><div class="BannerBottomRight"><img src="help:/common/bottom-right.png" style="margin: 0px" alt=""></div><div class="bannerBottomLeft"><img src="help:/common/bottom-left.png" style="margin: 0px;" alt=""></div><div id="comments" style="position:relative; top: 5px; left: 1em; height:85px; width: 50%; color: #cfe1f6"><p>Would you like to make a comment or contribute an update to this page?<br>
