I expect to find revelation and truth out of the Word, but instead of holding that expectation for its inherent value, I hold it out of the need to keep up and contribute to the local pedagogy of Christian thought. While this isn't intrinsically bad - in fact it can be incredibly motivating - I find that it can become counterproductive to my daily discipline. I find myself a bit intimidated due to the expectations I've placed on myself. I simply need to simplify and read the Word as what it is - the Word of God. Everything else will follow.

I simply need to simplify and read the Word as what it is – the Word of God.

Everything else will follow.
