Starting with the right question

Thanks to Theocentric Preaching for pointing me to these thoughts from Bekah Mason:

Too often when we study scripture, we start with the wrong question: “What does this say to/about me?” If we start our study asking, “What does this tell me about God?” then we really get down to the deep riches of the Word. After all, if we are called to conform to the image of Christ, shouldn’t we be learning more about him and less about us?

Yes, indeed.
