Good morning.
REV AMY ROLLER
Do you ever get stuck in a rut when you’re trying to read scripture? Here’s something to try. It’s an ancient Christian practice of reading and reflecting on scripture.
Choose a small passage, about 6-8 verses. Begin with a few moments of silence to quiet yourself and get focused. Then read the passage slowly, preferably out loud, or read silently to yourself. Spend a few more minutes in silence, thinking about what in that passage stood out to you. What word or phrase caught your attention?
Then read the same passage again. This time spend quiet time afterward reflecting on how the word or phrase that you identified intersects with your life.
Next read the passage yet again. Then in silence, think of what action you are being called to by this passage. What can you do in response to what you’ve read?
Then read the passage one last time and spend time silently just resting in God’s presence. Give this a try, and enjoy your day today.
