25 Ways to Read Scripture - Day 12

Stress different words in the WORD

Emphasizing certain words in a passage brings new nuances of meaning to a verse.  Spend time reflecting on each stressed word in a biblical phrase.   ex. THE Lord is my Shepherd (Ps. 23:1):

                 The LORD is my Shepherd
                 The Lord IS my Shepherd
                 The Lord is MY Shepherd
                 The Lord is my SHEPHERD

A couple other possibilities:

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name   (Matt. 6: 9)
                 I am the Way, the Truth and the Life  (John 14; 6)
                 The Lord is my light and my salvation,whom shall I fear?   (Ps. 27: 1)
