He mentioned that sometimes even as Christians, we read the bible for the sake of reading it without digesting it properly. We might be reading a lot of it but never really thinking it through properly. Just like how cookie monster eats so much cookie but those cookies never really get eaten properly because they fall off its mouth as soon as he eats it. Of course he wouldnt be able to eat his cookies properly because he is only a doll but i hope you get the idea.
I am guilty of this too. Having the attitude of cookie monster when it comes to reading the bible. If you are like me, ie. like cookie monster, my prayer is that we would ask God to open up our hearts as we open up the bible. That we would digest God's word properly and let it teaches, rebukes, corrects and trains us in righteousness.
"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17, NIV84)
