Scripture Path

“We must come to sacred Scripture ready to be placed at God’s disposal and therefore keen to hear His Word. This keenness to hear may be compared to that of a mother for her baby. … Her care affects her senses so that she hears with new ears. In love of God and keenness to hear from Him we, too, will develop new, inner ears to pick up his quiet voice, speaking to us words of grace.” – Peter Toon, Meditating As a Christian

Listening to, reading, and meditating on Scripture are ways to help us apply them to our everyday needs.
