Lessons From Lesser Knowns: Finding God In Overlooked Scriptureનમૂનો

Feast on the Unexpected

When was the last time that God surprised you?

Maybe it was an unexpected answer to prayer or a conversation with someone when you needed it most. Or maybe it was a Scripture passage you stumbled across during a difficult time.

God specializes in doing the unexpected. Our attention often tends to be drawn to flashy, celebrated, popular things (and that’s not always bad), but God finds great value in the forgotten and unseen; He chose unlikely people throughout the Bible and hand-picked them to declare His glory.

Scripture is a feast, but some of the richest passages can often be overlooked. These stories and verses probably won’t be designed on trendy wall decor or studied during your next church conference. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT) reminds us that “all Scripture is inspired by God,” not just the passages we know and love well. Even the ones that don’t make it into sermons, Bible studies, or cross-stitch patterns are inspired by Him. There are wonderful, rich lessons we can discover from these lesser-known passages.

God’s proven throughout every corner of Scripture that He’s greater than our own desires, expectations, and plans. He continues to work through His Word—in big, well-known stories and in small, often-overlooked passages.

Together, let’s dig deep and be nourished by lesser-known stories that highlight God’s astonishing, counterintuitive way of working.

Chew On This:

• Do you have a favorite “lesser-known” Scripture verse or Bible story?
• How is God calling you to step outside of your comfort zone right now?
