How do we engage with Scripture to receive its benefits?

To fully engage with Scripture and receive its many benefits, a believer must embark on a journey of diligent seeking. As indicated in Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord promises that those who seek Him with all their heart will find Him. This involves not only the act of reading but also an intentional approach that includes prayer and asking for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in understanding the Word. The process of 'finding' God's Word entails actively searching for deeper truths and allowing them to penetrate one's heart. Furthermore, James 1:21 speaks of receiving the 'engrafted Word,' highlighting the necessity for humility and openness in allowing God's Word to shape our lives from within. Therefore, engaging with Scripture is both an art of discovery and a spiritual discipline that requires our commitment and God's empowering grace.
