When you see the word “upgrade,” you’re simply invited to help me make the sacred positively contagious...thank you in advance for becoming a free or paid subscriber.Not all Bible reading leads to transformation. That’s right… you heard it from a preacher.Not all Bible reading is transformational. Some of it is informational.The difference isn’t the text. It’s the posture.That’s why Proverbs 2:2 says that reading it is beneficial:“By making your ear attentive to wisdom, and by turning your heart to understanding.”FORMATION ONE WAY OR ANOTHERThis verse describes something deeper than reading or learning. It describes formation.Scripture always forms you. The question is how.It can remain information. It can bring about transformation. Or over time, it can lead to reformation, miraculously reshaping how you live.So how does it work?First, appreciation. “Make your ear attentive to wisdom.”This is intentional listening. Not skimming. Not rushing. But savoring the experience, like fine wine.Second, appropriation. “Turning your heart to understanding.”This is letting truth move inward. From your ears to your heart.Tuning your inner life to wisdom, like locking into the right frequency.And finally, application.What reaches the heart reshapes everything. Listening leads to understanding. Understanding leads to action.And action confirms and invites more formation.If it isn’t showing up in your life, it hasn’t fully settled in your heart.FROM INFORM TO REFORMProverbs 2:2 reminds us that Scripture isn’t just something we read. It’s something we allow to read us.When you approach God’s Word with appreciation, receive it through appropriation, and live it through application, you don’t just gain knowledge.You become someone new.🔥REMEMBERGod’s Word doesn’t just inform your mind,it reforms your lifePrayerGod, shape my ears, heart, and life through Your wisdom.Today’s ChallengeRead one verse today slowly.
