Who Masters Who ?

The most common approach for reading a book is to be in the place of the master trying to conquer the text you read. This is how a student would approach a textbook. They would approach it to gain mastery over the text. The Bible is not a text we can approach this way.

Humility of heart would be the way to approach Gods word. The Word is a gateway to fellowship with God. It is the gateway to think as God thinks, to become as God is, and to do the things God does. Our goal is to allow the Word to gain mastery over our hearts. Our aim is to submit our wills to its wisdom and direction.

I have heard it said before that we do not read the Word of God, the Word of God reads us.
