Read and Meditate
Donald Whitney has a helpful article available on his webiste on both reading and mediating on Scripture. In essence he is addressing our tendency to simply get through the text withough really thinking about its meaning or application. The result is often that we remember very little of what we have read and therefore benefit minimally from it. While the article is short and simple its content has the potential to be quite helpful if we would apply it.

Much more than an article, but A W Pink has a book “Profitting From the Word”. Ironically you have to carefully read Pink’s book in order to apply it to carefully reading God’s book.
In all seriousness though it provides alot of great insight even if it is convicting.
