"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, and
training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16,17

Use a Plan:
1. Select where I will read in the Bible.
2. Read until God impresses me with my verse.
3. Write in my journal (or any notebook):
a. "My Verse"
b. Why God impressed me with "my verse".
(What does he want me to know, stop, change or do.)
4. Praise God for what He is teaching me.
5. Write "my verse" on a 3X5 card to take with me.
6. Meditate on "my verse" throughout the day.
7. Review "my verse" before bed time.
Guidelines for the above plan:
Select a book in the Bible. Begin with (a) one of the gospels such as John; or (b) one of the shorter letters such as Ephesians or James; or (c) the book of proverbs or a psalm.

Praise God for what "my verse" :
a. Reveals about Him and His character.
b. Says or promises about myself.
c. Says or promises about others: my spouse, children, parents, friends, co-workers, etc. (These can be written in my journal when there is time).

Write "my verse" on a 3X 5 card to take with me. Write it poetry-style rather than in settence form, using short phrases that will catch my eye. Underline key words or phrases God lays on my heart.
Meditate on "my verse" throughout the day. Praise God often for the truths in "my verse", using the "praise areas" in #4.
Review "my verse" just before bedtime. God can use my sleeping hours to "renew my mind". Romans 12:2.
