Sometimes we gain a new perspective and it changes everything. This happened for me in a Bible study in college. This happened for Tim Timmons as his daughter prayed a prayer for him and he wrote a song about it. “Everywhere I Go” leads us to Scripture where we learn some important truths that may not only change the way we pray, but the way we live.
May we long to join God in what He is doing more than His blessing of our own feeble plans.

This Week’s Challenge
If you follow my pattern this week you will get inspired by an outside source (like a song, or a book) and it will lead you to Scripture. Once you are led there you will read it in context (in our case this week, the entire chapter of John 5). While you are reading, ask questions and jot them down. Either the Scripture will answer your questions, send you exploring other Scriptures for clarification, or there is enough you DO understand you can set aside your confusion for now and apply the parts that are clear. These are all Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs) I use on a regular basis to interact with God’s Word. Incorporate them into your weekly study and you will begin to improve your interactions with God’s Word.
