I get to participate in a Bible Study of Relevant Basics (ABSORB) as part of my workplace's diversity network called SALT (Salt and Light Together). Like a sponge, we can soak up the scriptures but we need an outlet to carry what we've learned and give it to others (like ringing the sponge). When sponges are alive they can take in and release 20,000 times their own volume of water in a day (Wowza!). So it's good practice to take what we learn and give it to others, not just once a day but all day long. Give it a try and see your capacity to enjoy God more is expanded.
