I’m able to grasp some of it, but I know I’m missing a lot. What I can see I really like. But I have to wonder, how much of the picture am I missing? I’m betting that you sometimes feel the same way. ​ If you’ve been listening to me preach for long, you already know that I believe God tells us what we need to know, but there’s an awful lot He simply does not address. His wisdom is beyond what we can grasp. His knowledge transcends anything we can imagine. Frankly, the Scriptures address issues that have one foot in the world we know, and the other is in eternity. ​ Given that, what should our strategy and attitude be when we seek to immerse ourselves in God’s word? I think we should start with a sense of humility; we’re exposing ourselves to a mystery that has power, but is also shrouded in the unknowable. ​ Even so, we’re still told to know and apply God’s Word to our lives. Knowing that this is God’s intent, we can expect that He’s ready to instruct us and, in fact, He promises to do so through His Spirit. ​ Knowing this is true, it only makes sense to preface our foray into the Scriptures with prayer. As we meander our way through its message we bathe the effort in prayer. As we seek to apply its truths to our lives we petition God for wisdom. ​ If you’re paying attention, you have noted that all of these are simply different ways of saying, “Pray about it.” Do you rush into the Scriptures, or do you start with prayer? I think you will be enriched by putting prayer at the front, middle, and conclusion of your interactions with the Scriptures.
