Back when I first started doing Bible study one of the things I did a lot was running chains. The Bible I bought shortly after I came to Christ had side column references. I would look at the references for the verse which I was studying and look those verses up. Then I would look at the references for those passages and look those up. I did that until it was obvious that the topic had changed. I called that running chains.
Over the years the method has changed a bit. After 40 years of Bible study and scripture memory, sometimes when I am studying a passage other verses or phrases that support or add to the passage I am studying come to mind. I follow those as well as some of the side column references.
That happened this afternoon… I was reading Isaiah 44:18 – 20 and a combination of the two approaches lead to this chain, run it with me and if you feel led, tell me what you see in the comments.
Psalm 81:12; Isaiah 6:9 – 10; 29:10; 2 Corinthians 3:14; 4:3; Romans 1:24, 26, 28; 2 Timothy 3:7
Have fun.
