Mentors – Part 5

A final place I find mentors is in the Bible. The collected stories of the lives of the men and women of the Bible are the single greatest mentoring resource available to mankind! If we’re not being mentored by Biblical Characters, we’re missing out! Period.

1. Don’t Read the Bible, Enter the Bible! There’s a big difference. Reading the Bible only requires that we be on the outside looking in. Entering the Bible means that when we read, we allow ourselves to stand beside whomever we’re reading about.

2. Learn to find the lesson within. Hidden in every chapter of the Bible are principles and lessons we must mine out. They contain the power of life and death. Developing the discipline to find them will change our lives.

3. Get a rhythm for Bible Study. If we don’t make Bible Study a priority and a habit, it will elude us. Life is too busy for us not to build in a daily time where we can Enter the Bible for personal growth.

The Bible is one of the greatest mentoring tools on the planet. Let’s take advantage of it.

Just a bloggish thought,
