Snipped this from the website of my new favorite theologian… John Piper…
He’s written a book on reading the Word… I haven’t read it yet… but I’m ordering today…
Some say we are called to make sense of the Bible…
I believe He tells us to seek revelation… see who He is… what He says… by seeking Him in His Word… prayer… and obedience…
Seeing Him is the best… And the viewfinder to use…? His Word…
My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 2:1-5 ESV
