I love this quote. It’s how I love to read the Bible each day. I don’t set out to read so many chapters but look to hear God speaking in every word. When a word speaks to me, I stop and meditate and then write what God is saying through the Scripture. As I write, I find I receive more understanding. Often it will lead me to a theme to study more intently. I may not read a lot this way but I sure get a lot!
It is also important to teach your children how to read God’s word. Teach them to look expectantly for God to speak to them. Teach them to listen intently to the voice of the Holy Spirit who will speak to them through God’s living word. Get them a hard-covered notebook to write down what God speaks to them. This will revolutionize their daily reading. It will become so exciting to them.
