Tara's First Bible Journey
- Tara Leigh Cobble grew up around Bibles but found the Bible text confusing and distant until 2008 when a pastor challenged her to read it fully.
- That first reading was tough and left her struggling with her feelings about God, prompting a new way to approach scripture.
Focus on God, Not Self
- Look for God in scripture rather than focusing on yourself or application.
- End each reading by identifying God's character, which transforms understanding and deepens love for Him.
Pray and Train for God’s Character
- Use daily prayers to reset your mind for Bible reading, asking God for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
- Train yourself to look for God’s names, actions, and words to reveal His character in each passage.
