What do you do when you can't figure something out in the Scriptures? In our modern times we are very fortunate to have bible commentaries and guides online - there are so many of these that they can be overwhelming at times.
Ministering in a different generation, Dr. Leslie Weatherhead, used to cultivate the practice of 'parking' some of the difficulties he had, trusting that God would reveal a greater insight in the future.
“When I read something in the Bible I don’t understand, I put it in a mental box marked ‘awaiting further light’” – Leslie WeatherheadColossians 2:2 - My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.
Thoughts: What does this mean for you? What would you place in the 'Awaiting Further Light' box?

Gr8 advice! Too often, I dig too deep and bypass what I'm trying to understand. God's 'dawning-light' will come, be patient!
