DAY 1 ā MEDITATE | ××× hagah
To utter, groan, speak, devise. To chew on like a lion does to their prey. Scripture is worthy of our time. We read it. We speak it out loud. We attend to it. We allow it to make itās home in us.
DAY 2 ā TEACHING | Ī“Ī¹Ī“Ī±ĻĪŗĪ±Ī»ĪÆĪ± didaskalia

DAY 3 ā REBUKING | į¼Ī»ĪµĪ³Ī¼ĻĻ elegmos
Reproof, conviction, discipline. To expose for the purpose of āsetting it right.ā Scripture goes in like a soul-autopsy, looking for the cause of death and decay in our lives. It identifies the root cause and properly categorizes it as sin.
DAY 4 ā CORRECTING | į¼ĻĪ±Ī½ĻĻĪøĻĻĪ¹Ļ epanorthÅsis
Improvement, restoration, revival. If rebuking points out the problem, correcting gets us back on track. Scripture takes what is broken and helps rebuild towards itās intended design. Like the prodigal son, scripture brings us back to the Father.
