• “Genuine revival will not be popular with everyone…it will divide…between those who want to build their own kingdom and those who want to build the Kingdom of God, between those who are attached to their own ideas and those who are committed to the Word of God” – Nancy DeMoss

Word for Word by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 12/26/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Do you ever find your mind wandering when you read the Bible? An ancient technique may help you concentrate.

Taking time to write out specific passages from God’s Word forces us to think about what we’re reading. It helps us observe details of the text more carefully.

In the Old Testament God often told the Israelites to copy His law. In Deuteronomy 6:9 we read, “Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.” Another time they were told to set up some large boulders and “write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up.”

You may find it helpful to do the same thing. If you find that it’s hard to concentrate when you read, why not try transcribing the passage you’re reading? And if you’re really ambitious, you may want to do what one of my friends did and actually make your own copy of the entire Bible!

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
