Here are some ways we can open ourselves to and engage Scripture as God’s true

and living word. The 3 levels offer various degrees of time and commitment:

• Level 1: Read and memorize one verse of Scripture each day. A good place to begin is Psalm 1. Repeat it to yourself throughout the day and “meditate” (reflect) on what it means.
• Level 2: Read a chapter of a Bible book each day and ask: What is God saying to me through these words? Suggestion: start with The Gospel of Mark. Try to recall the key “movements” that take place in the chapter as you go throughout your day.
• Level 3: Join a weekly Bible study group. Learn from Scripture and from one another.
