In the foreground is the Waikiki Wall. See that hut at the end of the pier?
I was there a month and a half ago. When I see a picture like, this I see it from a different perspective. Here's one of the videos I took from the wall.
Likewise, when we come to the Scriptures, we need to go from the bird's eye view to an "I was there" perspective.
If people read the Bible with the same level of attention to detail, we'd be a race of spiritual giants.
