Proverbs 1:21
21 She crieth [qara'] in the
chief place [ro'sh] of
concourse [hamah], in
the openings [pethach] of the
gates [sha`ar]: in
the city [`iyr] she
uttereth ['amar] her
words ['emer],
saying, KJV-Interlinear
21 at the head of the noisy streets she
cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: ESV
Two types of
believers exist in Christianity. The first, say that they want wisdom, but are
in fact, indifferent, not lifting a finger to seek out instruction, and
therefore learn nothing. It is they who will be the big losers in life.
The second type,
is a much smaller group of Christians, who strongly desire to learn, and actually
make an effort to seek out instruction in Bible doctrine. It is they who will
be the big winners in life.
The word of truth,
cries out in all public places. Truth saturates the universe, and makes itself
known, in one way or another, to everyone.
The chief places
of concourse, described the head of a roadway complex, or the head of a river complex,
such as was described in Genesis 2, where the word for chief place, was used to
refer to the point at which the four streams branched off.
Bible doctrine, or
truth, positions is self at the beginning of everything in life. It carries
itself through the course of life, down every road, down every river,
everywhere that people are.
It is impossible
to live in this world, and not see truth, or Bible doctrine.
The city gates,
represent the public places where business and commerce are conducted, and
where courts of justice, and legal transactions are conducted.
In one way or another,
truth enters in and touches everyone’s life.
And how, anyone
can live their life, and ignore or remain indifferent toward truth, and learn
absolutely nothing, is almost beyond comprehension.
And yet the
greater portion of society remains indifferent, and lazy, and simply will not
pursue the learning of truth, which is the building material in the
construction of ones soul.
No material, means
no construction. No construction, means no completion. And that is the sad
state of the soul of the individual, especially those who talk the talk, but in
fact do nothing.
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.
