(Post 5 of 6 posts about reading the Bible.)
Step four: reword.
Once you've prayerfully read a little bit and researched what it means, I recommend rewording it in your own language. You know you understand something when you can explain it in your own words. For example:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
Lean not on your own understanding." (Proverbs 3:5)
I would reword this verse something like this:
"All of my heart must lean on God, trusting Him. None of my heart should lean on myself, trusting my own understanding."
Rewording it clarifies its meaning and makes it your own. Try it!
