Perhaps, you’re reading the Bible but nothing stands out to you. Try this exercise. Practice reading a particular section aloud. Use expression. Interpret it as you read.
This morning I did this with Psalm 114 and it was a real blessing. It is only 8 verses long!
The ESV Study Bible summarizes:
The imagery conveys how powerful the LORD is; even the strongest natural forces would not dream of resisting him. However, the events of the Psalm are not simply displays of raw power: God uses his power for the sake of his people.
*************
Psalm 114 (ESV)
1 When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
5 What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?
6 O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.
