Pick up a piece of a jigsaw puzzle and it is usually beautiful to look at.  Better yet, what happens when you fit it together with the other pieces. Same thing with the Bible.  There are people who memorize and quote individual verses of the Bible.  But the ones who get the most from their time in the Bible are those who see how it all fits together, from beginning to end.  The more time you spend digging into God’s Word, the more amazing it becomes as you see the astonishing connections.  Check it out: look at the first page or so and then read the last couple pages.  You’ll see…  And all throughout, on many different levels, it all fits together.  

But it’s not simply a matter of curiosity.  The more you see those connections, the more you understand the heartbeat of what has been written, the stronger you are for everything life throws at you.  Check it out.  You’ll see…

“…for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil”.  (Hebrews 5:13 – 14)
