to me?

2) The second time you read the passage, put yourself in the passage. What senses of yours are engaged and how? Where do you find yourself in the

passage?

3) The third time you read the passage, is there an invitation for you in these words? Is there place that God is calling you to? Can you name it?

4) The fourth time you read the passage, rest and digest the words.
