We tried so hard. We used the formula that worked: peaceful, predawn quiet; hot coffee; highlighters. Maybe a guide of some kind written by a tightly wound, beloved author whose own frantic eyes seemed to be screaming, Help me!
It worked perfectly for a long while. The Lord met with us there, patient with our Magic 8-ball approach, our penchant for plucking a single strand of Scripture like one note taken from a symphony.
But that approach is for an infant soul. As we begin to grow and life gets stranger and harder, we need more than self-help lessons. We need to encounter the fiery mysteries of a God who doesn’t make sense–One who leaves us in awe of who He is and what He has made.
Where are those Bible studies?
The books and letters of the Bible are fields of buried treasures, supernatural beings, and paradoxes so outrageously wonderful, the Good Book is now illegal or highly restricted in 1/4 of the world. If you’ve read it all the way through a dozen times, you’ve never read it at all, because each time its pages are opened we’re standing at the threshold of endless dizzying “rabbit holes” about what God is like, and what is meant by “the world.”
The answers found in Scripture will always point to the perfection and inconceivable majesty of our God, His intolerance of self-righteousness, and His inexhaustible love for humanity.
Every new discovery about the Most High God will shake the way you see everything and everyone around you, as well as the way you view history and your soul’s future. After all, our day-to-day struggle isn’t about what we can see; it’s about what we can’t see.
So, if you’re bored with your approach to Bible study, maybe it’s time to start asking questions and search the pages of the most important Book in the world until you find answers, or even better questions.

I’m in no way trying to sway your interpretation of Scripture, but I am trying to tip your cradle. Remember to test the spirits as you go and keep your eyes on Jesus. He’s the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life.
“We also have the word of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt. And you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.“
~ 2 Peter 1:19
