#386: The Lens of Scripture

Description

Episode 386 - Show Notes:

God offers us a lens that can fix our spiritual vision – the vision we need to view life correctly. This is the lens of scripture. Apart from the Bible, we will develop the viewpoint of the world around us. We’ll see life from a selfish, humanistic, worldly point of view, instead of a godly point of view.
As we daily interact with scripture, as we make it a part of our daily lives we begin to change how we see and interpret things. I want to encourage you to being to make God’s Word a larger part of your life. Pray about how you can consume more scripture. When will you read or listen? When will you journal? Which verses will you memorize and meditate on? Which bible study will you attend?
Scripture informs us of God’s viewpoint. Through the Bible we begin to understand God’s view of love, law, grace, mercy, and forgiveness. We discover how God sees sins, evil, wickedness, and immorality. We see how God views our lives, our purpose, our work, and our finances.
You’ll never be able to see clearly, with spiritual eyes, apart from the lens of God’s Word. Begin to make the Bible a part of your daily life. Ask God to give you a hunger for his Word. Allow it to shape your thinking, your beliefs, and your entire life.

Psalm 119:18 - “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”

Psalm 119:105 - “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
