Interacting Scripture with the level of your imagination

When I attended El-Shaddai concert in early Feb, it sound 'chim' to me on day 1 when Michael Card shared the message ' Interacting Scripture with the level of your imagination ' . I can't really grab the concept and connect the word " imagination" with "bible reading".....kinda profound to me .

I tried to apply this concept by pondering and asking questions on why this and that as I read Exodus as part of my BSF homework but it didn't carry me too far .. I still can't fully comprehend what this means to me in a personal level .

One fine afternoon, as I was getting my younger daughter, Jia Hui to read Exodus 2 to prepare herself for the next BSF lesson , she asked me this question ' Why isn't God pissed off when Mosses started giving excuses when God called Him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt " ? As we start discussing the 'whys', it gives me a whole new perspective of God himself and Moses's relationship with God. It's just amazing.. how this simple question leads me to a different dimension of understanding .

I'm encouraged by this new discovery and excited that I can finally grab what Michael Card meant by ' Interacting Scripture with the level of your imagination ' .

May I encourage all of us to explore using our imagination to read bible. I'm sure God will bring us to a deeper understanding of His word during our 50 days adventure and draw us closer to Him . We will be able to see what's behind the screen in this wonderful love story between God and His chosen people.

God bless,
