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.
2 For thine arrows [chets] stick fast [nachath] in me, and thy hand [yad] presseth me sore [nachath]. KJV-Interlinear
2 For your arrows have sunk into me, and your hand has come down on me. ESV
This verse conveys the idea of the stresses and burdens and discipline that can descend down upon a person, from seemingly everywhere.
Because of our weaknesses and failures in life, we are constantly hampered by the repercussions of our own transgressions.
Our transgressions can be outright sins, or they can come from passive indifferences, or our discontentment’s, or whatever, that we might have regarding our role in life.
Regardless of the source of our failures, Christ is standing nearby ready to lower the hammer on us in a variety of ways. And when that happens, our life can be turned upside down, and certainly things can become very inconvenient for us.
But the stresses that accompany whatever difficulties we may encounter, are usually enough to wake us up and make us aware of our own flaws, and of our own failed decisions or actions.
The phrase, stick fast, refers to the disciplinary action that descends down upon us.
The arrows, refer to the disciplinary action its self.
And this is not a single arrow, but a barrage of many arrows, from which we cannot get out of the way, or hide from, or shield ourselves from, because they all strike their mark. Namely you.
The obvious response to Gods discipline, is to cease in that pattern of life or activity that got you into that trouble. The obvious stupid response, is to not change from that pattern that got you into trouble.
But, stubborn is as stubborn does, which is the same as stupid is as stupid does.
And of course the best response is to recognize the situation as it really is, and learn from it, and change yourself.
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.
