Psalm 40:5
5 Many [rab], O
LORD [Yahovah] my God
['elohiym], are
thy wonderful [pala'] works
which thou hast done [`asah], and
thy thoughts [machashabah] which
are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order [`arak] unto thee: if I would declare [nagad] and speak [dabar] of them, they are more [`atsam] than can be numbered [caphar]. KJV-Interlinear
5 You have multiplied, O LORD my God, your
wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will
proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told. ESV
Multiplied, means
beyond numbering. Wonderful, refers to an experience beyond imagination.
Gods thoughts are
directed toward us. We have access to Gods thoughts by means of the written
Scriptures.
Gods plans,
purposes, arrangements, are all designed for our welfare, for our benefit, for
our destiny.
Before time began,
in eternity past, God conceived of each and every one of us. Therefore, we are
linked from the very beginning, from before time, to the most phenomenal life
and destiny, that is beyond human comprehension.
The blessings are
beyond counting. However, our access to blessings comes to each one of us, in
the simplest of forms, namely by means of Bible doctrine.
Despite all of the
many plans, and abilities, and efforts of human life, no effort on our part can
come anywhere near matching what God has done with mere words that are written
in the Bible.
By learning Bible
doctrine through instruction, and learning it on a daily basis, because it is
the food of our soul, we gain access to the most sophisticated plan, in all of
existence, which is Gods plan.
Unfortunately, too
many never figure this out, because they are so caught up in their own belief
systems, and in arrogance, that puts up a barrier, that prevents them from
seeing the simplest means of success.
No one and nothing
can compare with Gods plan, and Gods design.
Gods plan and
blessings are so thorough, and so innumerable, and so vast, that even if we
studied the Bible in detail from cover to cover, several times, we would still
barely scratch the surface of that vast treasure.
And so the most important
thing that we can do in life, is to commit ourselves to a study of the word of
God on a daily basis, for our entire life, and by that, gain access to a plan
that is infinitely better than anything that we could do for ourselves.
To ignore such an
opportunity, would be the act of a fool.
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.
