One of the lines declares 'I open up, I take a look, into the bright and shiny...book of brilliant things.
For me ...and maybe this is totally inaccurate ...I have always thought this to be about the Bible. For me it is a as the title says a Book of Brilliant things.
I have over the past couple of months resurrected a mostly daily habit of reading the bible. The plan I am following gets you to read the Bible in a year but it is more than that.
About 3 years ago I read a book entitled 'The Divine Mentor' ...this book encourages you to follow the SOAP process. In a daily journal you then pick and write out a single verse from the 3/4 chapters you read, hence the S. You then make / write an observation about the verse (O). You then write out an application (A) of that verse and finally you write out a prayer of how you make that application (P) = SOAP!
This daily process has, as the book declares become my mentor. I have gained so much from doing this. It has helped me, counseled me, supported me and guided me through some tough times.
The Bible is indeed a Brilliant Thing. Probably the most underused resource we have. Dust it down and as the lyric says ‘open it up’ and ‘take a look!’
