It is common to do our devotions mechanically and our unattended reading. There are many ways to deal with these issues, but let me give you a simple suggestion. Ask two questions to the text and write your answers:
1) How can I summarize this extract? (try to say it in your own words) 2) How can I worship God based on this excerpt?(This can be a prayer of praise or a confession; it can be a request that exalts God as the source of all blessings; this can be something practical to do)
I say extract, because it can be part of your reading
Like what:
Excerpt: Gn 1. 1-25
Summary: God creates, models, and fills the world through His Word and the action of His Breath, fills it with life and beauty, and blesses that life and beauty multiply and fill the whole world.
Adoration: The beauty of this creation is a reflection of your magnificence; order, a coup d’eer; life, an overflow of your blessing. Who would say that this little grain in the vastness of the Universe would be the setting of your glory, the stage of your works, the theater of your opera.
