How can I read the Bible and understand it?
I believe this is a common question that many people ask.
When I came to know Jesus in a personal relationship, I was 21 years old. I felt I was running behind in life with knowing what the Bible said and I needed to catch up. So I jumped in and began learning the Word by reading my study Bible daily and digging into the Bible. I also jumped into Bible studies with Kay Arthur’s teaching. I have many of her studies on my book shelf.
I also prayed some heartful go deep with GOD prayers about growth work and wanting to know Jesus well and His Word. I must say GOD has answered that prayer. Not saying I have arrived, but looking back over four decades, God has kept me in a position of needing Him, as for over 25 years I lived in an oppression.
While living in oppression, I recognized that many people have head knowledge of the Bible and are all talk, but do not grasp the application of the Bible to transform their heart and life.
A study that drove this truth home deeper for me was the study, Experiencing God, by Henry Blackaby. I highly recommend that study! I have traveled through that study at least three times. And during this study, there is one principle he teaches.
God wants us to pay attention to where He is at work. And to adjust and join Him.
When I first did the study I sensed that one word, Adjust, Adjust, Adjust.
And God was waking me up to the call on my life! Women. Coach. Speak. Teach. Write. All for Women!
So when I began to write, I knew I would be writing very simple books for women to read and to understand the Bible. I would keep my books right to the point, without a lot of fluff and head knowledge, and write to the matter of the heart.
It brings me great JOY to learn of women reading the Enable Me, Lord, to Shift books and how they are changing their life by applying one verse at a time. The Enable Me, Lord, to Shift devotionals are 31 day coaching devotionals and I have four out so far, the fifth is written, just not published yet. Each book shares a story and how that person applied the verse to their life to change their story outcome. Three coaching questions and a prayer end each day’s read.
Check them out if you want to learn to understand the Bible and how to apply it to your life to change you and grow deeper in love with the Lord as you journey forward.
Read. Understand. The Bible.
