How to See God in Middle SchoolNäide

Sometimes, it's easy to rush through things without fully paying attention. For example, when reading the Bible, it's common to speed through verses without really understanding what’s in front of us. However, one way to see the Holy Spirit at work is by slowing down and reflecting on what you read. Meditating on Scripture—taking time to think about it—can help deepen understanding. Here's a simple way to do this:

Start by praying and asking God to open your eyes to the words you read. Read a few verses carefully, then read them again. Ask these questions: “What does this say about God?” “What does this say about me?” “What should I do in response to what it says?” When we practice this, the goal is to read to understand and apply.
