Let Us Begin Using The Bible
It is obvious even to the casual observer of the few Bible-verses cited in the previous chapter that relationship with God, studying the Bible, and growth in the spiritual life, have all got intimate connection with gaining of knowledge or wisdom.
It is also obvious that "knowledge" and "wisdom" are used here in their broad sense — not in a restricted sense to mean "spiritual" wisdom alone. Thus it is obvious that walking along the biblically guided path increases the over-all wisdom of every person. This includes, among many others, wisdom in the following areas:
Handling of personal life
Handling of personal problems
Handling of one’s spiritual life
Handling of one’s spiritual problems
Handling One’s Social life
Academic life
Family life
Office life
Spiritual ministry
It is surprising how many of us overlook the fact that Bible records the story of many ordinary, uneducated, timid, and disadvantaged people who were infused with wisdom to manage their lives. Some of these people are:
Joseph
Esther
Ruth
Daniel
Shadrach, Mesach, Abed-nego
Peter
Timothy
In the light of the above, please write answers to the following questions in your diary:
Question: write down in your diary, the names of Biblical characters who obtained help from God/Bible to handle the following subject with wisdom/knowledge:
Handling of personal life
Handling of personal problems
Handling of one’s spiritual life
Handling of one’s spiritual problems
Social life
Academic life
Family life
Office life
Spiritual ministry
You might wonder whether one can see examples of people in Bible who obtained wisdom/knowledge for all the above. You might even be perplexed at first. But keep reflecting. You are allowed even to ask others. Finally you will get answers to all the above questions !!
May God Help You In Finding Right Answers !!
