Thank you so much, betty boop! Your replies are brimming with wisdom - informative and uplifting!

I agree fully that God speaks through His Word, truly but not exhaustively. Like a parable, the Word cannot be mentally understood - that's why I coin the phrase hidden in plain view to describe it.

Certainly, Divine Love is the great subject of the Bible. I think of the Word as the method God choose to reveal Himself to His own - and Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh (John 1:14)

If has often seemed to me that the hardest things to see are the most obvious ones! Thus the best way to "hide" something it to put it right out there in plain view.... We'll see it when the Spirit moves us to see it.

I think it helps to pray for grace and light when we "commune" with the Bible. :^)

Thank you, A-G!
