Drawing Inspiration from Reading Scripture as Metaphor and Symbol In this devotional, I examine a New Testament parable that is clearly meant to be read as a metaphor for our own life but which offers multiple possible interpretations, and I then discuss other scriptural accounts that can be read either historically or metaphorically. A common metaphor in these examples is one’s life’s journey. I will share examples of how examining alternate interpretations has helped me feel greater inspiration and increased my ability to apply the message to my own journey.
