PROVERBS 23:12
"Commit yourself to instruction; listen carefully to the words of knowledge."
Tell the truth, how much time do you spend learning the bible? OK so the pastor's all acknowledge that they spend a great deal of time learning the words of knowledge and getting instruction from the Lord. How about those of us who have not been called to be a teacher? How much time do you spend getting instruction and listening to the words of knowledge? We are now addressing the average believer, the one who will have questions asked by their peers about Jesus Christ and His Word. Are you committed to instruction for yourself. Do you listen carefully to the Word and are you acquiring the Lord's knowledge?
Is the bible in your home just a dust collector? Do you read the Word every day and try to learn more and more about God? Many read the bible through each year and that is commendable. Do you also commit to instruction from the Word and do you carefully listen to the Words of knowledge? It is one thing to read a book and another to learn from a book and take instruction. Are you a hearer of the Word or are you a doer of the Word? Is it truth and life to you when you read the Word of God?
It should be the desire of anyone who has given their life to Christ to also learn His Word. The bible is the instruction manual that was give to us for our edification. Should we fail to read the instructions before doing such a complex thing as living our life? We should be commit ed to the bible and learn from it on a daily basis. Are you attending class? Are you learning? You will be tested every day and in many ways. ARE YOU COMMITTED?
