Recently, I was challenged by a brother in Christ who was counseling me through a difficult issue. He asked me to write down a verse every day, keep it in my pocket, and reflect on it throughout the day. This seemed like a rather bizarre request to me, as I am one who reads his Bible daily, however, I submitted to his request thinking, what harm could it do?
Let me tell you something my friends, this has been a marvelous experience. Taking one verse (sometimes two) and just focusing on them can really open up deeper meanings found in them. Sometimes a principle will strike through – other times you see something that you somehow missed despite reading the passage several times before in your previous readings.
Anyways, I just wanted to pass this little exercise along to you. Maybe you’ve already tried something like this – maybe you haven’t – but I am giving it my endorsement for anyone seeking to hear the voice of God a little more clearly.
