Thank you for insight.

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. You yourselves know, dear brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not a failure.
2. You know how badly we had been treated at Philippi just before we came to you and how much we suffered there. Yet our God gave us the courage to declare his Good News to you boldly, in spite of great opposition.
3. So you can see we are not preaching with any deceit or impure motives or trickery.

4. For we speak as messengers approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.
5. Never once did we try to win you with flattery, as you well know. And God is our witness that we were not pretending to be your friends just to get your money!
6. As for human praise, we have never sought it from you or anyone else.

7. As apostles of Christ we certainly had a right to make some demands of you, but instead we were like children among you. Or we were like a mother feeding and caring for her own children.
8. We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God's Good News but our own lives, too.

9. Don't you remember, dear brothers and sisters, how hard we worked among you? Night and day we toiled to earn a living so that we would not be a burden to any of you as we preached God's Good News to you.
10. You yourselves are our witnesses — and so is God — that we were devout and honest and faultless toward all of you believers.
11. And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children.
12. We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.

13. Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God — which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

14. And then, dear brothers and sisters, you suffered persecution from your own countrymen. In this way, you imitated the believers in God's churches in Judea who, because of their belief in Christ Jesus, suffered from their own people, the Jews.
15. For some of the Jews killed the prophets, and some even killed the Lord Jesus. Now they have persecuted us, too. They fail to please God and work against all humantiy
16. as they try to keep us from preaching the Good News of salvation to the Gentiles. By doing this, they continue to pile up their sins. But the anger of God has caught up with them at last.
1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 NLT

7th strategy.
Repetitive Reading


  • 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. Ask God to give you one verse that resonates in your heart today.
  • Write the verse down on a pad of paper, sticky note, or even on your phone in notes or your calendar.
  • Pray and ask God to give you a number of times to repeat this verse throughout the day. Write that number underneath the verse.
  • Or ask Him if it would be better for you to read and repeat the verse three times and then do that again later in the day. Asking how many times to have this little repetitive session and writing that down under the verse.
  • Every time you repeat the verse mark a tally under the verse.
  • Do this throughout the day. Try to reach your set goal or above it.
  • At the end of the day attempt to speak the verse without looking at it.
  • Before bed repeat the verse again either rereading it off of the paper, or quoting it from memory. Either is a glory to God.
  • And remember, God gleans great pleasure when you stop and thank Him for being with your throughout your day.


18. Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come.
19. These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us.

20. But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth.
21. So I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies.
22. And who is a liar?
Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist.
23. Anyone who denies the Son doesn't have the Father, either.  But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

24. So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father.
25. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.

26. I am writing these things to warn you about those who want to lead you astray.
27. But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you everything you need to know and what he teaches is true — it is not a lie. So just as he has taught you, remain in fellowship with Christ.

1 John 2:18-27 NLT

643. Do Not Love This World — 1 John 2:15-17

Do Not Love the World

Thank you for insight.



3.

3rd strategy
For Familiar Passages.  Read Anew!
Read the passage from Last to First!


Sometimes we have read a passage of Scripture so many times we can't see it with new eyes.
How can we change the passage without changing the meaning?
What would we see if we take a passage and begin with the last verse and read the verses from for example:
Chapter 3:10-1.
  • Begin with asking God to open your heart to allow you to see these verses afresh with new eyes and hear with new ears.
  • Now begin reading Chapter 3 beginning with verse 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
  • Does the passage change in meaning? Does it give you a new insight into it?
  • Finalize with re-reading the passage in the way it was originally written.
  • Look back over the verses. Does any one verse stand out in your heart?
  • Pray over that verse. Place it in our heart, your journal, on a 3X5 card or sticky note. Tape it in your bible, on a mirror, or on your desk.
  • Be sure to thank God for being here with you today. He gets great pleasure from our gratitude.

15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.
16. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world.
17. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:15-17 NLT

2nd strategy
Meditation in 
WORSHIP


  • Begin with asking God to open your heart to what He has for you to hear today.
  • Read a passage of the Scripture
  • Is a miracle in the passage? Is a relationship deepened in some way? Has God stepped in and shown His power,
  • Has he shown His discipline or even His protection or His end goal?
  • Has Jesus, lived life, shown love, or taught?
  • Whatever the passage holds that brings you an awareness of who He is, praise Him for that revelation.
  • Give Him glory and honor and praise. Thank Him for what He has given.
  • Think on these things. Ponder them. Reread the passage. Write about what you read. Pray! This is Worship!
  • Thank God for His presence this moment.


7. Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment — to love one another — is the same message you heard before.
8. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment, and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.

9. If anyone claims, "I am living in the light," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is still living in the darkness
10. Anyone who loves another brother or sister is living in the light and does not cause others to stumble.
11. But anyone who hates another brother or sister is still living and walking in darkness. Such a person does not know the way to go, having been blinded by the darkness.

12. I am writing to you who are God's children because your sins have been forgiven through Jesus.
13. I am writing to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning.
I am writing to you who are young in the faith because you have won your battle with the evil one.
14. I have written to you who are God's children because you know the Father.
I have written to you who are mature in the faith because you know Christ, who existed from the beginning. I have written to you who are young in the faith because you are strong.
God's word lives in your hearts, and you have won your battle with the evil one.
1 John 2:7-14 NLT

  • Ask God to open your heart and mind to what is written in the passage.
  • Read the passage
  • Re-read the passage looking for 3 words or phrases that really resonate in your heart.
  • Write those words down.

  • Don't forget to thank God for being with you during this endeavor to find intimacy with Him.


1. My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous.
2. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins — and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.

3. And we can be sure that we know him if we obey his commandments.
4. If someone claims, "I know God," but doesn't obey God's commandments, that person is a liar and is not living in the truth.
5. But those who obey God's word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him.
6. Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did.
1 John 2:1-6 NLT

19th strategy.
Asking Questions from this Passage. How can this Passage Change Me?


  • Ask God to join you in your thoughtful questioning.
  • A message from the LORD from He Himself, or through a person or prophet.
  • Who is sending the message and to whom?
  • Why?
  • When?
  • What will happen?
  • How will this effect the people involved?
  • How does this prophecy/message impact me?
  • What does this prophecy/message prove about who God is?
  • Think about the protection of God for His people.
  • Think about the protection of God for you.
  • Pray. Don't forget to thank God for His revelations that might come later. But trust that they will come.

7. Three months later, on February 15, the LORD sent another message to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah and grandson of Iddo.
8. In a vision during the night, I saw a man sitting on a red horse that was standing among some myrtle trees in a small valley. Behind him were riders on red, brown, and white horses.
9. I asked the angel who was talking with me, "My lord, what do these horses mean?"
"I will show you," the angel replied.

10. The rider standing among the myrtle trees then explained, "They are the ones the LORD has sent out to patrol the earth."

11. Then the other riders reported to the angel of the LORD, who was standing among the myrtle trees, "We have been patrolling the earth, and the whole earth is at peace."

12. Upon hearing this, the angel of the LORD prayed this prayer: "O LORD of Heaven's Armies for seventy years now you have been angry with Jerusalem and the towns of Judah. How long until you again show mercy to them?"
13. And the LORD spoke kind and comforting words to the angel who talked with me.

14. Then the angel said to me, "Shout this message for all to hear: 'This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: My love for Jerusalem and Mount Zion is passionate and strong.
15. But I am very angry with the other nations that are now enjoying peace and security. I was only a little angry with my people, but the nations inflicted harm on them far beyond my intentions.

16. "'Therefore, this is what the LORD say: I have returned to show mercy to Jerusalem. My Temple will be rebuilt, says the LORD of Heaven's Armies and measurements will be taken for the reconstruction of Jerusalem.'

17. "Say this also: 'This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: The towns of Israel will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem as his own.'"
Zechariah 1:7-17 NLT

Thank you for insight.



3.

15th strategy.
Imagine


  • Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine the characters in this passage.
  • Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
  • Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
  • Are they trusting God?
  • Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
  • Imagine them as friends.
  • What would you do if you were there beside them?
  • Would you be willing to encourage them?
  • What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
  • Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
  • Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
  • Thank God for His presence with you right now.


8. What sorrow for you who buy up house after house and field after field, until everyone is evicted and you live alone in the land.
9. But I have heard the LORD of Heaven's Armies swear a solemn oath:
"Many houses will stand deserted; even beautiful mansions will be empty.
10. Ten acres of vineyard will not produce even six gallons of wine.
Ten baskets of seed will yield only one basket of grain.

11. What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning looking for a drink of alcohol and spend long evenings drinking wine to make themselves flaming drunk.
12. They furnish wine and lovely music at  their grand parties — lyre and harp, tambourine and flute — but they never think about the LORD or notice what he is doing.

13. So my people will go into exile far away because they do not know me. Those who are great and honored will starve, and the common people will die of thirst.
14. The grave is licking its lips in anticipation, opening its mouth wide. The great and the lowly and all the drunken mob will be swallowed up.
15. Humanity will be destroyed, and people brought down; even the arrogant will lower their eyes in humiliation.
16. But the LORD of Heaven's Armies will be exalted by his justice. The holiness of God will be displayed by his righteousness.
17. In that day lambs will find good pastures, and fattened sheep and young goats will feed among the ruins.

18. What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!
19. They even mock God and say, "Hurry up and do something! We want to see what you can do. Let the Holy One of Israel carry out his plan, for we want to  know what it is."

20. What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.

21. What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever.
22. What sorrow for those who are heroes at drinking wine and boast about all the alcohol they can hold.
23, They take bribes to let the wicked go free, and they punish the innocent.
24. Therefore,  just as fire licks up stubble and dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will rot and their flowers wither. For they have rejected the law of the LORD of Heaven's Armies; they have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25. That is why the LORD'S anger burns against his people, and why he has raised his fist to crush them. The mountains tremble, and the corpses of his people litter the streets like garbage. But even then the LORD'S anger is not satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike!

26. He will send a signal to distant nations far away and whistle to those at the ends of the earth. They will come racing toward Jerusalem.
27. They will not get tired or stumble. They will not stop for rest or sleep. Not a belt will be loose, not a sandal strap broken.
28. Their arrows will be sharp and their bows ready for battle. Sparks will fly from their horses' hooves, and the wheels of their chariots will spin like a whirlwind.
29. They will roar like lions, like the strongest of lions. Growling, they will pounce on their victims and carry them off, and no one will be there to rescue them.
30. They will roar over their victims on that day of destruction like the roaring of the sea. If someone looks across the land, only darkness and distress will be seen; even the light will be darkened by clouds.
Isaiah 5:8-30 NLT

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

637.

The Injustice of Life

1.

Today's Passage: Ecclesiastes 3:16-2


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).



2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.

26th Strategy.

Wisdom - The fear of Jehovah (the LORD) is the instruction for Wisdom: Proverbs 15:33


  • Bring your heart before the LORD and open up to Him. You may come boldly before the throne of God.
  • Ask Him to cleanse you heart and remove any resistance you might have to wisdom or understanding.
  • A wisdom passage can be hidden within other information.
  • There might be a nugget in a phrase, or a sentence.
  • Whole passages can also be wisdom passages. All of Proverbs for example.
  • Remove whatever word, phrase, sentence or section of the passage pulls on you heart.
  • Write it down.
  • Ponder on this as long as you need to.
  • Bring your time with LORD to gratitude and enter your day!


16. I also noticed that under the sun there is evil in the courtroom. Yes, even the courts of law are corrupt!
17. I said to myself, "In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds."

18. I also thought about the human condition — how God proves to people that they are like animals.
19. For people and animals share the same fate — both breathe and both must die. So people have no real advantage over the animals. How meaningless!
20. Both go to the same place — they came from dust and they return to dust.
21. For who can prove that the human spirit goes up and the spirit of animals goes down into the earth?
22. So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is why we are here! No one will bring us back from death to enjoy life after we die.
Ecclesiastes 3:16-22 NLT
