Reading with the Right Perspective
A common mistake in reading Scripture is approaching it as a personal to-do list rather than as a revelation of God’s character and actions. To avoid this, it is essential to ask specific questions that shift the focus from self to God, such as what God says and does in the passages, along with insights into His nature and desires. By viewing Scripture as an opportunity to learn about God rather than a task to be completed, readers can cultivate a deeper relationship with Him. This approach transforms the reading experience from obligation to a genuine desire to understand and honor the divine.
