Invite God to join you in your reading. Ask Him for wisdom.
If there is anything in your spirit hindering you, confess it now.
He knows it. You are forgiven. 
Ask Him to help you embrace that truth to live it out.

9th strategy.
Read and summarize each verse into as few
words as you can. Goal 1 or 2 words.
​

• Begin by asking Jesus to cleanse your heart to hear what He has for you to hear.
• Read the passage completely.
• After reading through the first time, go back and read the first verse in the passage.
• Then try to narrow the focus of the verse down to one or two words.
• Write those words down either on a piece of paper, or on your text messages on your phone.
• Read the 2nd verse and do the same thing.
• Complete all the verses in the passage.
• Sign and date the page in your journal, or send the text message to yourself.
• Review these words throughout the day.
• Thank Jesus for the words that He gave you to bring you closer to Him through this day.

13. It is better to be a poor but wise youth than an old and foolish king who refuses all advice.
14. Such a youth could rise from poverty and succeed. He might even become king though he has been in prison. 
15. But then everyone rushes to the side of yet another youth who replaces him.
16. Endless crowds stand around him, but then another generation grows up and rejects him, too. So it is all meaningless — like chasing the wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:13-15 NLT
