Human observation is important to interpret contextual references from the Bible aptly. The observation of the Bible to interpret Scriptures has become stereotypical because of the “assumed acquaintance” believed by believers after hearing preaching from preachers (Cartwright & Hulshof, p. 91). Therefore, there is lack of personal interpretation from the fear of interpreting inappropriately or neglecting the consideration of trying to observe and interpret. Being dependent on supporting material like devotional will not let human beings try to make their own observations. Every reader of the Bible must try to read and make observations by reading in a peaceful environment.
