Through Eyes of Color Lesson 2 Part 2 of Chapter 1 WCUMC Bible Study

THROUGH EYES OF COLOR A CONTEXTUALIZED GUIDE TO HELP YOU KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND WHY.  II. Unwrapping the Gift In this section, we are going to learn how to properly unwrap the gift of God’s Word for the sake of knowing and worshipping Him by using five intentional steps. STEP 1: GET STILL When you open the Bible, you come face to face with God. It is important to open God’s Word with a posture of reverence and expectation. Opening your Bible with reverence means doing so with a heart full of thankfulness for the gift of being able to encounter the living God through His Word. Then, expect the eyes of your heart to be enlightened so that you may know with a greater sense of clarity and assurance the hope to which you’ve been called in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:18). Get in a place where you can meet with the Lord undistracted. Settle your heart through prayer.
