I came across this while reading an ancient Jewish document that was written somewhere between 500-600 AD. It reveals what the commentator saw hidden in the text of God’s Word, which can be a lesson for us all. Look up these scriptures and read them with the thought in mind of discovering the same secrets that the writer found there:

How wonderful is the human heart! It speaks and sees (Eccl. 1.), it hears (1Kgs 3.), it walks (2Kgs 5.), it falls (1Sam. 17.), it stands (Eze. 22.), and it rejoices (Ps. 16.), it cries (Lam. 2.), it is comforted (Isa. 40.), and it grieves (Deut. 15.), it hardens (Exod. 19.), and it softens (Deut. 20.), it saddens (Gen. 6.), it is terrified (Deut. 28.), it breaks (Ps. 51.), it is haughty (Deut. 8.), it rebels (Jer. 8.), it devises (1Kgs 12.), it has imaginations (Deut. 29.), it indites (Ps. 45.), it thinks (Pro. 19.), it desires (Ps. 21.), it declines (Pro. 7.), it goes astray (Num. 15.), it supports (Gen. 18.), it is stolen (Gen. 34, it becomes humiliated (Lev. 26.), it is persuaded (Gen. 24.), it errs (Isa. 21.), it trembles (1Sam. 4.), it is awake (Songs 5.), it loves (Deut. 6.), it hates (Lev. 19.), it is envious (Pro. 23.), it is searched (Jer. 17.), it is rent (Joel 2.), it meditates (Ps. 49.), it is like fire (Jer. 20.), it is stony (Ezk. 36.), it repents (2Kgs 23.), it is hot (Deut. 19.), it dies (1 Sam. 25.), it melts (Jos. 7.), it receives fear (Jer. 23.), it gives thanks (Ps. 3.), it covets (Prov. 6.), it hardens (Pro. 28.), it is pleased (Judges 16.), it deceives (Pro. 12.), it speaks inwardly (1Sam. 1.), it loves bribery (Jer. 22.), it is written upon (Pro. 33.), it is mischievous (Pro. 6.), it receives injunctions (Pro. 10.), it is presumptuous (Obad. 1.), and it arranges (Pro. 16.) – From the Midrash Kohelet, p. 179.

So often we read God’s Word without seeing the whole picture because we concentrate only on one or two verses. This exercise may help you to comprehend what the Lord is saying in a whole new light.
