Isaiah 33:6

Copyright Ó 2016 J. Neely
Isaiah 33:6

6 And wisdom [chokmah] and knowledge [da`ath] shall be the stability ['emuwnah] of thy times [`eth], and strength [chocen] of salvation [yashuw`ah]: the fear [yir'ah] of the LORD [Yahovah] is his treasure ['owtsar].   KJV-Interlinear

6 and he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.  ESV

The most valuable treasure in existence, is that which comes from God. Most people do not have this treasure, because they do not know what it is or how to get it. Nor, do they take the time to figure this out.

Faith, is the ultimate objective of the spiritual life. Faith is the muscle of the spiritual life.

Faith comes from wisdom.
Wisdom comes from the application of understanding.
Understanding comes from knowledge.
Knowledge comes from learning.
Learning comes from the day to day study of the word of God.

The learning process is where most people fail.

When Bible doctrine is learned, and understood, and applied to ones daily life, then the spiritual life is developed.

Blessings from God flow to the individual who is developing, or advancing in their spiritual life.

The word for abundance, refers to that which is far beyond what you would ever need. And that is a lot.

Zion, is a word throughout the Bible that refers to the vast truth of God. Truth is Bible doctrine. And when you learn Bible doctrine, and inculcate it into your soul, that results in the stability of life, and the relaxed mental attitude, that is otherwise not available by any other means in this world.

Learn the spiritual process, which is available only to believers in Christ. Unbelievers do not have a spiritual life.

The spiritual process is, repeated confession of sins to God the Father, in order to reside within the fellowship sphere.
And, while in fellowship:
Pursue a daily Bible study, through instruction, in order to learn Bible doctrine.
Apply Bible doctrine to your daily life, and by that, gain understanding.
Repeat this process, in order to advance to advanced understanding which is wisdom.
And finally developing faith, which is based on the substance of Bible doctrine that resides within your soul.

Faith, is the muscle and power of the spiritually mature life.





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].

If you can dream and not make dreams your master, 
If you can think and not let thoughts narrow your views, 
If you can meet triumph with disaster equally, 
If you can learn and see your full meaning and purpose in life,
Then you can believe in Christ, learn Bible doctrine, and grow far beyond the potential that God has prepared for you.





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.
