Many of the steps of this STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! study technique are aimed at getting you involved in the story and life of the person being studied. Personal involvement opens not only our mind, but our heart, to the subject being studied. As we study the women of Scripture I want them to be more than characters in a story, more than names and situations on paper. They were living, human beings used by God to fulfill His eternal purpose.
Get to know the “First Ladies.” Think about them in flesh and blood terms. What did she look like? How was she dressed? What was her voice like? Did she stand straight, or was she bent over? What might she and Simeon talked about at their next meeting?
Although I have not included it in my studies here on the blog, in my book I always include a “just for fun” section to encourage the reader to get involved with the woman.
Today’s exercise is to have fun. Get to know Anna through your imagination. Write a poem, song or short story about her. Perhaps write out a prayer of thanksgiving that Anna might have lifted up to God. Relax and think about Anna as a human being.
Have fun with this!
