Scripture:
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. Jeremiah 33:3 About This Image: One thing that learning to use a macro lens has given me is the ability to see details of things that were hidden from normal sight. I never knew that the center of a sunflower was made up of so many parts or the petals had veins and were covered with pollen, until I took this image of the sunflower at Seven Islands State Bird Park. (Click on the image to see it at full resolution, be amazed) To really study God's word I have found that you have to begin as if the scripture were a conversation. If you ask God to show you what you need to understand as you study a specific scripture, he will show you things that you would not learn on your own. I am grateful for the scholars who have written commentaries and preachers who preach wonderful sermons. I use these tools when I study God's word. But the commentaries and sermons will only tell you about a passage. When you call to God, he will answer and show you what you need to hear from his scripture in your life, the Bible is unlike any other book in that way. Calling to God and asking him to teach you things that you need from a scripture passage is like using a macro lens - it allows you to see great and hidden things that you would never see without calling to him.
