Using the “Pronounce It!” Method of Bible Meditation

The “Pronounce It!” Method:Read the verse over and over again, but emphasize each word in the verse one at a time. After each word, stop and write down your thoughts, even if it’s just a word or two.

Example: Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

LET the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you richly.

Let the word of CHRIST dwell in you richly.

Let the word of Christ DWELL in you richly.

Let the word of Christ dwell IN you richly.

Let the word of Christ dwell in YOU richly.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you RICHLY.

Discovery QuestionsWhich word has the most meaning for you? Why did you choose that word?
