3 🔑s to Understanding and Applying Scripture

You know you're supposed to read your Bible but you're not sure why or how.
🤷‍♀️ Where do I start?
🤷‍♀️ What does it mean?
🤷‍♀️ How does it apply to my life?
All great - and necessary - questions to ask!

This example of Psalms and Proverbs is a great one. Wherever you choose to start reading, it's good to find out a few key things that will help you understand what you're reading and how to apply it to your life:
✏️ Who is the author? We aren't always told this but when it's given, it can help things make more sense.
👥 Who is the audience? Another piece of context that shows us why certain things are addressed the way they are.
📌 What's the point or topic of the passage? Every letter of every word in the Bible is there for a reason and finding out the purpose of your chosen section will help you see how it speaks to your life in the moment.
