Psalm 37:10
10 For yet a little while [m@`at], and the wicked [rasha`]
shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider [biyn] his place [maqowm], and it
shall not be. KJV-Interlinear
10 In just a little while, the wicked will
be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. ESV
We learn by being
taught and we are taught only if we want to learn. Choose your life and choose it carefully. For the wrong decisions will get you nothing
and even worse than nothing. But how do
you choose, how do you learn to choose? And
the answer is right in front of you if you are reading this study.
Those who refuse
to learn, or do not want to learn, or presume that they do not need to learn,
are going to lose.
And here is their
destiny. They will end.
Not only will the
person who rejects truth, come to their end, but the entire history of negative
humanity will one day come to an end.
Remember that
there is a very broad range of wickedness, ranging from the self-righteous fool
who pretends, to the hard core criminal.
In either case, they all refuse to place themselves under the
instruction of truth.
And when it is all
said and done, their time is short.
Compare the history
of humanity or of this universe.
Some place history
in the billions of years, some place the history in the thousands of
years. You can choose whatever you want
to believe.
But the hard fact
is, that your life is nothing, even if you live to be a hundred years old, when
compared to any timetable of history.
Before you were
born, you did not exist, and you had nothing say about anything.
After you are born
then you face the inevitable end of your life.
Without doctrine
in your soul then you have nothing to look forward to, and you face that end
with fear.
With doctrine in
your soul then you have a positive destiny to look to, and that is comforting.
But there is far
more than just looking to the end of your life, there is the anticipation of
what is beyond.
Without doctrine
in your soul, then your eternity is bleak and empty, or no reward at best.
With doctrine
learned because you have decided to dedicate yourself to hitching up with a
study, and learning from instruction, then your eternity is phenomenal and
beyond imagination.
But in either
case, you have only this life to decide.
And in this life, you do not know when your number is going to be called.
So, decide now,
while you have the chance. And decide
for an education in Bible doctrine.
Because once your time
is up, then it is up and there are no do-overs.
