Proverbs 1:33
33 But whoso hearkeneth [shama`] unto me shall dwell [shakan] safely [betach], and shall be quiet [sha'an] from fear [pachad] of evil [ra`]. KJV-Interlinear
33 but whoever listens to me will dwell
secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” ESV
And finally, this
chapter of Proverbs closes out with the best advice that you can ever receive
in life. Whoever listens to God, meaning whoever listens to Bible doctrine by
means of a daily instruction in Bible doctrine, will have a full and meaningful
life.
You will live in
safety. And that simply means that anything and everything in opposition to
God, cannot touch you. The world cannot destroy you. Your personal
circumstances of life are irrelevant.
The real you,
exists within your soul. And the content of your soul, is beyond the reach of
creation.
Bible doctrine in
the soul, provides you with the security and guarantee of blessing from God,
for all of eternity.
The world cannot
do better than that. You cannot do better than that on your own.
God exists both
within and without the boundaries of creation. God controls everything inside
and outside the boundaries of creation. God has sovereign authority over
everything.
There is no
greater power, and no greater resource, then God, and Jesus Christ is our
access to those resources.
Ignore God and
Christ and doctrine in your life, and you may as well bet on a dead horse.
Pursue God and
Christ and doctrine in your life, and you will be betting on a horse that has
already won the race.
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.
