Psalm 38:8
8 I am feeble [puwg] and
sore [ma`od] broken
[dakah]: I
have roared [sha'ag] by
reason of the disquietness [nahamah] of my
heart [leb]. KJV-Interlinear
8 I am feeble and crushed; I groan because
of the tumult of my heart. ESV
This Psalm
continues to describe the anguish of the body and mind, to the completeness of
the physical and emotional distress that is caused by the sin nature within us.
Feeble, refers to
the feeling of coldness, or without warmth, being chilled.
Broken, means to
break in pieces, to be small, to crush, and is typically used to indicate a
broken spirit as in crushed by pain or sorrow.
Roared, refers to
crying out in helpless anguish because of the suffering.
Disquietness,
refers to the tears of groaning or crying, and represents the deeper emotional
groanings of the heart.
By ignoring or
remaining indifferent toward ones spiritual life, the sin nature overwhelms the
body and mind with emotional and physical stresses and anguish, for which there
is no human solution.
One of the many
reasons for pursuing spiritual growth, and living within the spiritual sphere,
is to avoid these conditions which are described.
It matters not
whether you are wealthy or poor, talented or plain, the sin nature controls and
eventually destroys everyone equally, and without bias.
And even though we
are trapped within these physical bodies during this life, the resource of a
daily Bible study, and the spiritual life, mitigate the effects that the sin
nature has on ones life.
To avoid or ignore
your spiritual life, is a fool’s choice.
To pursue, and
enjoy the benefits of the spiritual life, is one of the simplest things that a
person can do.
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.
