Taking Time to Notice: How 3 Men Do ItSample
God Speaks. It's Guaranteed.
I like to lead Bible studies because they take no preparation. Zero. At our worship band rehearsals, we'll often do a Bible study. Here's what I do. I take my Bible, a fairly recently purchased large-type NKJV, and I toss it to someone on my left. They know the drill.
"Okay, you've got the Torah. Let it fall open, drop your eyes, and read."
They don't skim until they find something interesting, they don't alight at a section that might be highlighted or underlined. They just read for a bit until it seems a good time to stop. Then they hand the Bible to the person on your left.
"Okay, you've got the historical literature—something from Kings or Chronicles would be nice.”
Out loud comes a passage. I can almost guarantee you've never heard it before. Next person gets Psalms or Proverbs. Then a major prophet. Next, a minor prophet. Now we’re in the New Testament, and we drop in on one of the Gospels. We get a Pauline letter. And then we always end with something from Revelation.
You can do more books; you can do less. It depends on how much time you have or how many people you want to read. Every time we do this, God speaks. It's guaranteed. Our job is to listen. To participate. To notice what he is saying. To share our insights, connect the threads, be corrected and instructed. This is what’s working for me.
