The wonderful thing about studying the Bible Lesson is that it can be new and fresh to us every day. As we grow in our understanding of God, new light comes to us.
It's like hiking. There may be a favorite place you like to go to often. You climb up the same rocks, hike the same trails, see the same hills or mountains. But is the experience really the same every time? You see things from a different angle, maybe. The sun is shining in a different way, casting different shadows depending on the season. There maybe different circumstances that are unique to that particular visit. The more you go ... to that same place, the more familiar you become with its paths and other features, and the more you truly see it and get to know it. It's never boring, because there are so many ways of looking at things.
The first tenet of Christian Science shows the importance of Bible study: "As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life." Science and Health, p. 497. So what do we need to do? We need to be open to and receptive of new, spiritual, higher ways in which to look at things. We need to listen; to silence the mortal, material senses; to pray for inspiration; and to feel God's presence and His allness. The prophet Isaiah wrote: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isa. 55:8, 9. We need to be willing enough to put on the new man and to leave the old self behind, so that we can prove our spiritual understanding—the enlightenment that comes from the study of the Lesson.
