From C.S. Lewis Institute: Why practice Biblical Meditation?
The goal of Christian meditation is to internalize and personalize the Scripture so it affects how we think, live and act. Biblical meditation is a means of speaking and listening to God as we pray the Scriptures. 

Here’s what Donald Whitney says about Biblical Meditation:

“Although the Holy Spirit gives a believer the desire and the power for a biblical spirituality, a certain reformatting of the life and habits must also take place to practice a gospel-centered piety. Thus, Paul also wrote, “Train yourself for godliness” (1 Timothy 4:7)... No Christian coasts into Christ-likeness. Godliness, according to this text, requires training. Some Bible translations render “train” as “exercise” (KJV) or “discipline” (NASB). Thus, the biblical and practical ways in daily life of living out this command to “train yourself for godliness” have often been termed “spiritual exercises” or “spiritual disciplines.” What was true in Paul’s day is still true: it is by means of the spiritual disciplines found in Scripture that we are to pursue godliness.”
