Join me this morning on 'A Moment with Hales' as we continue our practical Bible Study series. Today, we're exploring the world of biblical poetry. Discover how to navigate ancient Hebrew poetry, the importance of slowing down to appreciate metaphors and illustrations, and how couplets function to deepen our understanding of scripture. We'll review Psalm 42 and analyze couplets in Psalms and Exodus to see how imagery and structure enhance the messages.

Homework includes identifying couplets in Lamentations and Job, and reflecting on how poetry reveals God's faithfulness. Let's grow in our spiritual maturity together!
