I agree with Kierkegaard, the Danish theologian who said, “We don’t read the Bible it reads us.” The Old Testament is literally crammed with biographical accounts, all of which expose the true character of our human nature. To tell you the absolute truth, I see something of myself in each of them, especially in their weaknesses.
So what Biblical character do you most resemble? In what way? What is the Lord trying to tell you?
“All these things happened to them—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could… learn from them….”
— 1 Corinthians 10:11 (TLB)
Lord Jesus, help me to learn from those who have gone before me lest I repeat their mistakes. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
