Psalm 40:15
15 Let them be desolate [shamem] for a reward [`eqeb] of their shame [bosheth] that say ['amar] unto me, Aha [heach], aha [heach]. KJV-Interlinear
15 Let those be appalled because of their
shame who say to me, “Aha, Aha!” ESV
When the learning
of Bible doctrine, is disregarded, then legitimate reward and legitimate
prosperity becomes unavailable. Pursuing the spiritual life, by learning Bible
doctrine, by means of a daily instruction, is the only way to have a fulfilled
and meaningful life.
But we know, that
there are many in this world who ignore Bible doctrine, and have some semblance
of worldly success or prosperity or wealth. And they shun the idea that the
only path to wealth and success is through learning Bible doctrine.
We also know, that
there are many in this world who are not successful, and yet they are
opinionated against the idea of obtaining success or prosperity or wealth by means
of learning Bible doctrine.
And as such, they
mock, aha, aha, as though to say, look at me, I don’t need God or Christ or
doctrine, and I’m doing okay.
They ignore their
responsibilities in life.
They ignore their
obligations in life.
They ignore their
God-given role in life.
And they truly
believe that their decisions and beliefs are rights of their freedom, which
they do not possess, because they refuse to see the shackles of the sin nature
that saturates their life.
They ignore the
ultimate end of their life, and what comes after that, even though they are
fully aware that there is something, but they choose to ignore what that
ultimate something destiny is.
And that is the
life of a fool. To know the rules of life, and to intentionally ignore them,
resulting in your own demise.
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].
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.
