In the analogy comparing God's Word to medicine, merely owning a Bible or memorizing scripture is sufficient to receive its benefits without internalizing or meditating on it.
Answer
False
Explanation
### Why this is right
The author says the Word does not work merely because a Bible is nearby, has been read, or has been memorized. He emphasizes receiving it into the heart through meditation.
### The concept
The medicine analogy distinguishes possession from use. In the author’s account, meditation means continued attention to and reflection on the Word.
