Psalm 38:10
10 My heart [leb]
panteth [cachar], my
strength [koach]
faileth [`azab] me: as
for the light ['owr] of
mine eyes [`ayin], it [hem] also is gone ['ayin] from me. KJV-Interlinear
10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and
the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me. ESV
Life gives us many
real-time experiences, that teach spiritual principles. Whether in parable form
or symbolic form, we have to look at life in order to understand the things
that are beyond this life.
When the spiritual
life fails there is a sensation of panic or anxiety, of lost strength, and the
failure to see things in their true reality.
The heart
throbbing, is taken from the activities of a hustling traveler merchant who
goes from place to place rapidly, seeking buyers for his wares. And this is an
expression of the pain and distress as indicated by the rapidly beating heart,
due to the uncertainty of the merchants future.
Failing strength,
describes the weakness of physical strength as well as mental strength.
The light of the
eyes, describes the failing ability to see and understand, and the confusion as
to why things are the way they are.
And so the
continued failure of the individuals life, due to the lack of spiritual
resources, is being described.
Just as the physical
body fails because of a poor diet, because of injury, because of sickness and
disease, so too, the soul fails because of the lack of proper nourishment that
is provided by a daily Bible study, and because of a lack of proper exercise
that is provided by the application to ones life, of the Bible doctrine that is
learned.
Most people pay
attention to their physical life to some extent.
However, most
people do not pay attention to the spiritual life.
And while physical
and mental ailments are more than obvious in this life, likewise on the
spiritual side of life, those ailments are not so obvious, but they are just as
real, and even more so.
To ignore your
spiritual life, to ignore your daily Bible study, to ignore your daily activity
in the application of Bible doctrine to your life, will result in a failed
life.
These
studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org,
and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so
already, and therefore not be lost forever.
And
if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you
can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come
to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and
purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a
phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily
study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big
time.
The
Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human
history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to
complete yourself beyond your imagination.
But
you have to decide to make that commitment.
No one else can study for you.
You have to do that yourself.
