I live next to a beach and frequently I see people out in the water swimming.
My wife loves to swim.
Me, not so much unless it’s a hot summer day and I need to cool down.
When you swim, you get wet. Nothing new there.
I like to think about swimming as a metaphor as it relates to my connection with the Bible.
Unless I am regularly getting into the Bible, swimming in it, dipping my toes in it, enjoying both its vastness but also its individual droplets, then really I will not get wet. I might as well live in a desert and not even know what swimming is.
So, on a daily basis, I take a swim in the Bible.
Sometimes it’s a dip my toes in experience.
Other times it’s a full on soak of reading, meditating, and studying.
It doesn’t matter so much or how often I swim, it’s the fact that I do some swimming on a regular basis.
This habit of swimming in the Bible slowly and imperceptibly changes my brain.
I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind. Romans 12:2
Truth grows in my inward being, and wisdom is taught in my secret heart. Psalm 51:6
