Psalm 25:13
13 His soul [nephesh] shall
dwell [luwn] at ease; [towb] and his seed [zera`] shall
inherit [yarash] the earth. ['erets] KJV-Interlinear
13 His
soul will abide in prosperity, And his descendants will inherit the land. NASB
The believer that is advancing
legitimately within their spiritual life, is the one who gains this rest and
peace in their life.
But notice that it is the
soul that possesses inner happiness, inner peace, a relaxed mental attitude,
not the body.
Life will swirl around
you as it has always swirled since time began.
It is full of trouble, full of anxieties, full of burdens galore, and
life is never at ease. There is always
something or someone who is out to cause you trouble or suffering. Such is the nature
of people and of this world.
But doctrine in the soul
brings inner happiness and poise into your life, your real life, which is the
real you, which is the life within your soul.
The world can cause trouble
for your body and physical life, but the world cannot destroy your soul, unless
you allow it.
What you think is what
you are. And if you bring doctrine into the
forefront of your thoughts, then your reality will be phenomenal, regardless of
the storms of life that will try to upset your life. But you have to learn doctrine before you can
think it.
Those who reject
doctrine, who reject learning doctrine in a legitimate study process because
pursuing a daily study is sooo tedious and boring, will never receive, will
never gain, this inner peace of life.
Your seed, is a reference
or those who come after, that are of a similar or exact type that you are. This can refer to children, but in this case
it is a reference to the pattern of thought that doctrine initiates and
supports within your soul. Therefore,
everyone who advances in their spiritual life is of a similar seed, related in
truth.
And, guess what you inherit? Everything.
The spiritually mature,
repeat, spiritually mature believer, is the heir of all that is.
The world represents the
cosmos or the environment that surrounds us.
It is something that we have access to and it possesses the many things
that we desire or need for life. And to
inherit the earth means to have everything.
And in this case, everything that is legitimate and worthy, and worth
having.
All those who are
indifferent to, or resistant to growing up as God defines spiritual growth,
chase after what the world offers, but they will never have it.
Because no matter what you
have in his world, whether money, possessions, and such, will always be
external to the real you, and never a part of you. Thus you will never be truly happy, never be
content, never be satisfied. You will
never gain that which you pursue.
Learning bible doctrine
is the only way, the only way, and again, the only way that you will ever
obtain the real goals of life.
