Perspective. When you change it, you can see the familiar in a whole new light. That is what this week's song, "Hurricane" by Natalie Grant, did for me as I listened to it and pondered the lyrics while exploring in God's Word.
 
Spoiler alert! Sometimes God calls you to journey out into the middle of the storm instead of calming it.
On this episode I discuss:

Getting up close and personal with Natalie Grant recently
Avoiding the "checklist mentality" when it comes to your time in God's Word
Using perspective (and specifically a change in perspective) as a Bible interaction tool
Reading Matthew 14:22-33 from the perspective of Jesus
Jesus walked TOWARD the disciples in the midst of their storm
Jesus didn't hesitate to grab a hold of Peter

This Week's Challenge

Wherever you are reading in God's Word right now, look for a new angle or a new perspective and focus on those details. If you need inspiration for where to start, pick up in Matthew chapter 13 and read all the way through chapter 15 like I've been discussing today.
