Proverbs 1:30
30 They would ['abah] none
of my counsel [`etsah]: they
despised [na'ats] all my
reproof [towkechah]. KJV-Interlinear
30 would have none of my counsel and
despised all my reproof, ESV
Continuing on from
verse 29. When a person has rejected knowledge, they are in effect rejecting Gods
counsel. When a person has rejected knowledge, which comes from Bible doctrine,
then the person rejects Gods corrections.
So, by rejecting
knowledge, which means rejecting a daily study that teaches knowledge, then a
person is isolating themselves away from truth, and away from true counsel.
Proper counseling
helps you make decisions, correct decisions for life.
When you reject
counsel, because you have rejected a daily study in the word of God, then you
cannot make good decisions in life, because you lack good information.
Using only the
world as your teacher, leaves you open to misinterpretation, misunderstanding,
wrong conclusions, and therefore, wrong decisions.
And the worst
wrong decision that anyone can have in life, is to think that they don’t need
Bible doctrine.
Bible doctrine is
the substance of truth, the building material of the soul, the structural
integrity that is installed within your soul, which is the real you.
Without Bible
doctrine in the soul, you are empty and incomplete.
Without Bible
doctrine in the soul, you are nothing more than historical filler, making you
pretty much a waste of time for history.
And who wants to
be a waste of time?
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.
