Proverbs 1:31
31 Therefore shall they eat ['akal] of the fruit [pariy] of their own way [derek], and be filled [saba`] with their own devices [mow`etsah]. KJV-Interlinear
31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of
their way, and have their fill of their own devices. ESV
Those who are wise
in their own eyes, those who ignore daily instruction, those who otherwise
pretend interest in Bible doctrine, are left to their own devices and to the
success of their own efforts and to their own demise, which is certain, and
totally caused by themselves.
Therefore, God
leaves them to their own efforts. God allows them to succeed or fail, as the
world determines, because the framework of the world, which is also designed by
God, leaves ample room for believers and unbelievers alike, to function in
accordance with their own choices, within the framework of establishment
principles.
However, life in
this world is temporary. And anything that is temporary, obviously is not
permanent.
Bible doctrine is
permanent, and carries over into the next life.
Dedicating oneself
only to the design of this world, is dedicating oneself to the possibility of
temporary success, but guarantees permanent failure. And anyone simply looking
around the world, can see that 99% of the people in the world, are not
successful.
But, under the
principles of common grace, everyone has the opportunity to pursue life in
accordance with their own definition. But also, everyone is well-informed that
life will end, and their choices, if not for God, will come back to haunt them
at the end of their 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.
