Isaiah
32:18
18 And my people [`am] shall dwell [yashab] in a peaceable [shalowm] habitation [naveh], and in sure [mibtach] dwellings [mishkan], and in quiet [sha'anan] resting places [manuwchah]; KJV-Interlinear
18 My people will abide in a peaceful
habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. ESV
Just as the
previous verse described the attributes of spiritual maturity, so too, this
verse describes the dwelling and structure of spiritual maturity.
The dwellings of
this world, whether in the past, whether now, or whether in the future, are
only temporary at best.
The dwelling
structure of the soul is permanent and eternal.
The habitation of
the soul, is the structure which Bible doctrine creates within the soul.
Bible doctrine is
the building material for the spiritual construction of the structure of the
soul.
Often times we
call this our temple, our fortress, our mansion, all of which complete our
essence of soul, by means of our learning Bible doctrine.
Bible doctrine
learned, completes the structure of our soul, which leads to the most perfect
and permanent dwelling place of safety, of security, of happiness, and these
last forever.
Without Bible
doctrine, you have none of these.
The perfect life
can only be attained by learning Bible doctrine on a consistent and daily
basis.
Study [by instruction],
to show thyself
approved [spiritually mature]
unto God,
a workman [student]
that need not be
ashamed [ignorant],
rightly dividing [learning, understanding, discerning]
the word of truth [Bible doctrine].
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.
