What is the secret key to the Bible?
"Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law."
Psalm 119:18

Ponder This
Have you ever thought you could just go to the Bible and pull some truth out of it for your life? Let me tell you, you cannot. I don't care who you are, you could know Hebrew and Greek, but not know God. Unless you lay your intellectual pride in the dust and ask God to open your eyes to understand His Word, you’ll not know the God who wrote it. Do you believe that?
Most of us don't believe it. If we really believed it, we would be praying, asking the Lord to open our eyes. The human mind, will, and emotions cannot understand “the things of the Spirit of God, neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual discerns all things” (1 Corinthians 2:14-15a).
Practice This
God will give you wisdom to understand if you ask Him. The secret to understanding the Bible is to ask God to open your understanding! It took a supernatural miracle to write the Word of God. It takes a supernatural miracle for you to understand it. When God begins to write His Word upon your heart, you are going to lead a supernatural life!

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
