Part of living the way we are designed to live is examining ourselves. Are we listening to the voice of our Creator and following His ways or are we hearing only what we want to hear and doing what we want to do? Apophenia is defined as the tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things (such as objects or ideas). This is especially dangerous for those who seriously study the Bible because of the tendency to allow our preconceived ideas to influence what we read.
