To read scripture in the way that gains the most treasure, I don't want to be the one proving a doctrine. I don't want to be the one talking, but instead the one listening.
We must put aside doctrines -- right or wrong or chancy -- put them aside and try to not think of them, and truly listen instead.
This will make us want to read fully through a book for its own sake.
This way we learn more, deeper things, as we read again (even a 3rd or 5th time).
You'll be able to gain one or two of the great jewels in the Book of Job this way.
It's even more crucial of course when we read in the New Testament, but in the Old Testament this same rule applies -- the humble listener is rewarded. That means full reading through without distracting agendas or ideas, but instead expecting to learn new things.
