Are you going through a dry stage in Bible reading? Lost you ardor for the Word? If so, you can:1. keep on keeping on and benefit just from the discipline of being in the Word; or,
2.take a break from it and lose out on the nourishment; or,
3.take a more aggressive stance.
Suggestions for a more aggressive pursuit:
Write out the Scripture, Wilson Green suggests, getting a small journal and asking the Lord what passage He would have your to write. Write between seven and 10 verses per day, focusing and meditating on what you’re writing.
Another thought: read Psalm 119, section by section, on a daily basis. Pray that God would revive your zeal for the Word.
Try different translations of the Bible.
Summarize on paper one of the shorter books.
Mentor someone younger using Scripture as your guide.
Establish a new mind set about the Bible. See it not as a list of laws but as God’s love letter of grace and mercy meant to show us the path of abundant living.
Jesus said, “I am come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.” Learn more about it by being a person of the Word.

It always amazes me just how much more I see in a passage when I write it out longhand. It is so easy to take computer shortcuts but I find so much more when I am forced to write each word. It may not be quick or easy but it is worthwhile if we really want to know the Word.
