5th strategy.
A simple strategy: Building Blocks

• Begin by asking God to join you in building into your heart what He would want you to build.
• Read the passage completely
• Read the passage again. With the second reading pause after each phrase/sentence and think about the phrase/sentence. Take the phrase/sentence in slowly.
• You might want to reread the phrase/sentence until the meaning, or importance of the phrase/sentence really sinks in.
• After reading each phrase/sentence at least once, sometimes more. Go back and reread the entire passage.
• Do you find that the passage builds phrase/sentence upon phrase/sentence in importance? Why? or Why not?
• What phrase/sentence do you find most important in the passage?
• Thank God for this phrase/sentence and commit it to memory today.
• Don't forget to thank God for being here today with you.

1. Now I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard on a rich and fertile hill.
2. He plowed the land, cleared its stones, and planted it with the best vines.
In the middle he built a watchtower and carved a winepress in the nearby rocks.
Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes, but the grapes that grew were bitter.

3. Now, you people of Jerusalem and Judah, you judge between me and my vineyard.
4. What more could I have done for my vineyard that I have not already done?
When I expected sweet grapes, why did my vineyard give me bitter grapes?

5. Now let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard:
I will tear down its hedges and let it be destroyed.
I will break down its walls and let the animals trample it.
6. I will make it a wild place where the vines are not pruned and the ground is not hoed,
a place overgrown with briers and thorns.
I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.

7. The nation of Israel is the vineyard of the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
The people of Judah are his pleasant garden.
He expected a crop of justice, but instead he found oppression.
He expected to find righteousness, but instead he heard cries of violence.
Isaiah 5:1-7 NLT
