I recently discovered the value of reading large portions of scripture (for example, an entire epistle) aloud to myself.- It forces me to read more slowly.
- If my mind wanders, I notice it sooner.
- I am taking in God's word through an additional sensory apparatus, which can give it more "weight".
- I have to pay attention to the voice inflections and chose what fits the text.
- The thoughts get connected together into a coherent message.
Faith comes by hearing the word of God. I have been helped by hearing it in my own voice!
