Reading the Bible in another language taught me to slow down and meditate on God’s word

Kate Orson lives in Italy and she says reading the Bible in Italian has helped her understand scripture in a whole new way.

The Bible tells us to meditate on God’s word day and night, and there are plenty of ways to do this, whether it’s reading the Bible, memorising our favourite verses, or even entire books. But in modern life how many of us actually take the time to do so?

We live in a world with a constant stream of new information. It’s so easy to get distracted and forget about the importance of reading and rereading scripture.
