Lesson 4 - Think about The Word

Now that you have read your text several times...

Spend some quality time just thinking about what you have read.  Always have a notepad and pen near by.

• 1.  Jot down important thoughts and ideas.
• 2.  Question everything about what you have read.
• 3.  Did it make sense?
• 4.  If it did, can you verbalize (say it out-loud) what you learned about the words you read?
• 5.  If it didn't, then why do you think it didn't make sense?
• 6.  Re-Read those places where understanding was difficult.
• 7.  Use a different translation or version of the bible (or several) and read the passages there.

Think some more...... then...

• 8.  Make some quick notes on your thoughts about the verses you have read.
• 9.  Make a single sentence that would be a "title" for those verses.
• 10.  Make some quick notes on your thoughts about the paragraph the verses are in.
• 11.  Make a single sentence that would be a "title" for those paragraphs.
• 12.  Make some quick notes on your thoughts about the chapter the verses are in.
• 13.  Make a single sentence that would be a "title" for this chapter.
• 14.  Make some quick notes on your thoughts about the book the chapters are in.
• 15.  Make a single sentence that would be a "title" for this book..

Remember:  This is very early in your study.  These notes will be very sketchy and incomplete.  But repeating this process over and over will deeply acquaint you with the Word of God.
