Standing on the Inside

This semester, I’m taking a class called “Song Lyrics and Theology” at Asbury. We’re looking at the collision of theological ideas and lyrical/poetic expression in some great writings throughout church history, as well as writing some of our own songs/lyrics as we try to understand the task by actually composing things.

This week, we’re taking a look at the things that we learn about God from the stories and experiences of others. By putting ourselves in the shoes of other people, we gain perspective on the way the Father has revealed himself to the world. Our challenge this week is to put ourselves in the shoes of someone in the Scriptures and speak from their experiences as to who God is and what He has done.

That got me thinking: who is the person in Scripture you would most identify with if you were standing in their shoes? OR what person in Scripture have you learned the most from by looking at things from their perspective?
