Word of the Day

“For you, the Eternal’s Word is your happiness. It is your focus—from dusk to dawn.” (Psalm 1:2 VOICE)

Word of the day calendars can be a good way to expand your vocabulary. If you just read something and then go about your day, you are not likely to retain it. The best way to incorporate a new word into your repertoire is to study it repeatedly. Read the definition in the morning; repeat this in the afternoon. Write it down. Look at it from different angles. Try to use it in sentences as often as you can. Meditate on it in the evening. This is how you learn.

This same principle can be applied to all learning. Don’t just read something once and hope to get the most out of it. Study it multiple times throughout the day. Write it down. Roll it around. Look at it from different perspectives. Chew on it slowly, repeatedly. Meditate on it from dusk to dawn. Simmer in it until it soaks into your mind. Make this a practice. This is the way to incorporate what you learn into your life.
