When I was growing up, my mother taught me many things. One of them was how to take a piece of a dead plant and graft it into a thriving one. Soon, the dead piece would spring to life as it became one with the healthy plant.
In Hebrews 5:11 and on to the end of the chapter, we see that if you don't grow, you'll become dull and regress to the point where you'll need to re-learn the basics of the faith. While reading the Word of God is good, it's not enough to make it part of you. We must push it in any way we can until it becomes a part of us. The ways I do this is:
1. Read it with "I" inserted to personalize the scripture.
2. Read it like God is saying it directly to you.
3. Read it your circumstances.
Example: From Psalm 91 - Angel, you dwell in my secret place...
When we don't eat food, we feel the effects. Some people get headaches. Weakness overtakes our bodies. As soon as we give our bodies the nutrition it needs, a change occurs. It's the same thing with the Word.
