What do the heading titles in our Bible mean? Today, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark member Noah Treanseau to talk about the importance of noticing structure and organization in our Bibles, especially in Psalm 119:1-88. The acrostic nature of Psalm 119 communicates the comprehensive nature of God's Word. Even when there are things we don't fully understand about the Bible, we can trust God and bring our questions to Him. The fact that we don't have all the answers draws us to the One who does.
