8th strategy.
Choose three important verses that speak to you today.
​

• Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
• Read the passage completely.
• After reading the first time go back and chose the three most important verses that speak to you today.
• Ask God to bring those verses back to you through out the day.
• Find out if by the end of the day only one verse has been thought about more than the others.
• Thank God for that verse.
• This is a good strategy to use for long passages.
• Be sure to stop and thank God for being here with you today.

1, When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am El-Shaddai — 'God Almighty.' Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.
2. I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants."

3. At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 
4. "This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations!
5. What's more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations.
6. I will make you exremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them!

7. "I will confirm my covenant with you and your decendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 
8. And I will give the entire land of Canaan where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God."
Genesis17:1-8 NLT
