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.
