0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | If you and I'm going to spend a year and hopefully the rest of our lives reading through the Bible, let's aim to do it well. |
0:18.5 | Today I'm going to talk about the three primary mistakes I made during my first trip through scripture and tell you how to |
0:23.8 | avoid them. Hopefully you'll be able to get the hang of this much quicker than I did and with fewer |
0:27.6 | pitfalls. My first major mistake and the one I think we're all naturally inclined to make is that I was looking for myself in |

1:11.1 | If you can't find God in the passage, look harder. |
1:14.3 | Ask yourself, what's happening in these pages that could be attributed to God? |
1:18.0 | There's only one book of the Bible that doesn't mention the name of God, Esther, but even in the absence of his name, the pages are |
1:24.7 | saturated with his actions. |
1:27.2 | So when you're in a section like that, try asking yourself, what is he doing behind the scenes? |
1:32.0 | What's he doing in the hearts of the people we're reading about? |
