Part 2:
- READ ATTENTIVELY
Shut off all the world, especially radio, TV, social media, cell phones, and give the King your undivided attention.
Visualize the historical narratives, meditate on the poetry, and apply the counsels. For example: Micah 6:8 MSG—[But he’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what God is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor,
be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don’t take yourself too seriously take God seriously.]
- READ EXPECTANTLY
As you search for wisdom to live for each and every area of your life, continue your reading for that day until you find it. God will speak through His Word to you!
- READ JOYFULLY
Find a translation of the Bible that you will READ. Everyone does not understand KING JAMES language NOR do they speak it today. I encourage you to not only read but also obtain tools that help you understand the deeper meaning of the original language so that you may understand the content, context, culture, and the intention of the write. Also understand whom they were speaking to and why. This will help you NOT apply something that was meant for someone else to your life. [For example, God is no longer commanding us to sacrifice a lamb for sin nor is he telling men that they must be circumcised to be apart of his covenant people]
