You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth.
Job 38:3
3 Gird up ['azar] now thy loins [chalats] like a man [geber]; for I
will demand [sha'al] of thee, and answer [yada`] thou me. KJV-Interlinear
3 'Now gird up your loins like a
man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me! NASB
Inevitably, in everyone's life, come questions. And inevitably everyone looks heavenward and
asks why, or why not, among a variety of other comments.
And here is Gods answer to you.
So gird yourself up, or in other words, build up your
strength and wit, prepare yourself, get ready, for here come the questions, and
simple ones at that, such that if you can answer them, then you should be able
to answer just about any question that has ever been asked by anyone in all of
human history.
And of course arrogance is the single biggest barrier
and flaw of mankind, and that includes you and me. Whereby, we get all uppity in our life and
begin to ask the how's and why's of life especially when things don't go the
way we want or expect them to.
And then it will be your turn to answer all of the
easy questions, first, before the hard questions of life are put to you. And of course anyone who has a brain can
answer Gods simplest of questions, right??
That is exactly what God does. He begins with the simple questions, just to
show that mankind cannot even answer them, let alone anything of greater
substance in life.
If you can provide the number of heartbeats that will
occur in your life, the number of hairs on your body throughout your life, then
you would have a great start at answering the more complex questions of life.
For example, what will everyone in the world, do
tomorrow? What will they think? What will they plot and plan? Who will have children and who will not? What circumstances will influence the
children of several generations in the future?
How many generations of humanity remain to come in our future?
You see, we cannot even predict the roll of the dice
let alone the state of our economy over the next few days or years. Certainly we cannot fix problems with any
degree of permanency.
Now is the time to post a prayer.
End Of Lesson
Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth.
