Ways to Fill Our Lives with God's Word

The Word of God changes us from the inside out!

How can we fill our lives with the Word of God?

• Read the Bible each day aloud!
• Write down Bible verse on index cards, decorate, and put in a prominent place
• Type up Scripture verses and/or passages on the computer
• Listen to Praise & Worship music on CDs or MP3s that have Scripture verses or psalms set to music
• Listen to Bible on CD
• Read the Bible aloud to children with extra expression, sound effects, and dialects
• Stash Bibles around the house--read when you can!
• Get away once a month for 3 hours to read the Bible and pray
• Sing old hymns (they have a lot of Scriptural content), psalms, and praise songs

_Examine a Passage of Scripture Deeply

Focus on one verse or passage each week or month

• Read aloud
  
• Memorize part or all of the verse or passage
• Write it down on paper and decorate the paper
• Explain the verse or passage to someone else
• Ponder the words, their meanings, and application

Another Way to Examine a Passage of Scripture

• Start reading a passage
• Ask the Holy Spirit to stop you at the verse He wants to teach you about
• When He stops you, use the verse to examine your heart and behavior
• Pray for God's help to apply the verse to your life.
