Seeing Scripture as an Artist

As I read a passage in Scripture, I should be asking:

Is there something God is saying directly to me?

Is there something God is saying to the community I am a part of?

Is there something profoundly beautiful here?

Is there something profoundly ugly here?

Is there a mystery I haven' seen before?

Is there someone experiencing a pain that I too have experienced?

Is there a captive being released here? Am I that captive?
