We can’t digest steak whole, but sometimes that’s how we read texts that have the potential to transform us. If we want to digest it and be changed, we have to slow. down. and. chew.
For three months or so I did the reading of Psalms, 5 Psalms per day, Psalm 119 was one of those days, and you could get through them in a month. After doing that three times, I realized I was rushing through some awesome and helpful teachings from God. Now I try to do one a day and I use the ESV journaling Bible. It is just the book of Psalms, and try to write a prayer from each Psalm. It makes me slow down, think about the Psalm, and express it to the Lord.
Good thoughts, verbivore! :)

That’s great John, thanks for sharing. I love those ESV journaling Bibles!
