In my humble opinion, there’s no better treasure for humankind to uncover than the private treasure of knowledge. This very particular gem may be fairly elusive to those that search its particular energy.
The Bible speaks of this valued reward all through its pages and that’s the place I choose to deal with this dialogue on the place knowledge may be discovered. The reply is pretty simple for individuals who place their belief in God and His Phrase.
Within the Ebook of Job, the author/poet takes an interlude from the story of God’s servant in Chapter 28 to present us a glimpse of what’s Most worthy to those that observe the Lord.
Humankind foolishly seeks tangible valuable stones and ore from the earth reasonably than searching for God’s particular knowledge. Take heed to the author poetically current the dichotomy in verses 10-13.
“They tunnel by the rock; his eyes see all its treasures. He searches the sources of the rivers and brings hidden issues to gentle. However the place can knowledge be discovered? The place does understanding dwell? Man doesn’t comprehend its price; it can’t be discovered within the land of the residing.”
In different phrases, we can’t discover the reply to these profound questions by pure means however solely supernaturally.
The wisest and most influential man of his time was Solomon, the son of King David. Solomon was the second son of Bathsheba born of David.
In 2 Chronicles 1:7 we learn, “That evening God appeared to Solomon and mentioned to him, ‘Ask for no matter you need me to present you.’”
Take heed to the younger king’s response to God as present in verses 8-10:
“Solomon answered God, ‘You may have proven nice kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you may have made me king over a people who find themselves as quite a few because the mud of the earth. Give me knowledge and information, that I’ll lead this individuals, for who is ready to govern this nice individuals of yours?’”
What’s so exceptional is God’s response that follows in verses 11-12:
“God mentioned to Solomon, ‘Since that is your coronary heart’s need and you haven’t requested for wealth, riches and honor, not for the loss of life of your enemies, and since you haven’t requested for a protracted life however for knowledge and information to control my individuals over whom I’ve made you king, due to this fact knowledge and information will probably be given to you. And I may even provide you with wealth, riches and honor, comparable to no king who was earlier than you ever had and none after you should have.’”
It takes a deep, private relationship with God earlier than He’ll convey His knowledge and information upon those that declare Him as Lord.
So, we should ask the query: What does it imply to say Jesus as Lord of your life? To me, it means inserting all my belief in His Phrase and His Means.
When Jesus says, “Comply with me.” I instantly drop no matter I’m doing and do exactly that — observe Him.
In case your coronary heart merely wishes trivial pleasures comparable to wealth, riches and honor, you needn’t ask for God’s sort help. These worldly pleasures are definitely attainable, however they’ll depart you wanting as you close to the top of your earthly existence.
So, please think about coming humbly to the throne of Jesus — not for private achieve, however solely since you wish to serve your Risen Lord. He’ll bestow His knowledge and information upon you for His goal as He sees match.
To God be the glory!
