"Those who lived in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shined...
For a child has been born for us, a son given to us...
And he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"
Practice the discipline of digesting a short passage in depth and focusing on each phrase in turn, allowing it to communicate with you on a deeper level.
How slowly can you read Isaiah's words? From how many phrases can you draw meaning? How many of his sayings speak clearly to our time and your condition? Do we dwell in darkness? Do we need a wonderful counselor? Has a child been given to us?
Set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes, half the time that you would spend watching a sit com, and for 15 minutes ponder Isaiah's words above.
Allow the word of God to slowly, very slowly, penetrate your hardness, on us has light shined.
