In the world of science, medicine and technology there must be a constant studying and learning to keep up with the advancements that are being made in these areas. If you don't study and learn new things you will fall behind and never advance thereby failing to capitalize on the new things that would enhance your experience, knowledge, and your life. There has to be an effort put forth to grow in the knowledge and understanding of these areas.
So it is with spiritual things. There are so many areas of wisdom, knowledge and understanding in God's word that we have never experienced before. There is no one who cannot grow in the things of God. The more we study and learn the more we expand our wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God and His ways. As we study and learn from God's word the more we begin to experience the benefits of our efforts as we apply those newly learned things to our everyday lives that we have learned from God. There are so many new revelations that we have not yet learned and only come through putting forth the effort to spend more time and studying God's word. How many Christians do you know that never grow in the things that God has in His word for them? They never study or learn and have fallen behind and live miserable defeated lives and never experience the abundant life that God wants for them and that Jesus died to provide. (John 10:10b). They constantly complain and never experience true joy. Don't you be one of those. It takes effort to advance and begin to experience new things from God found only in His word. People will take time to read the worlds opinion and seek that advice, but that only leads to more dissappointmnets. If we will begin to read God's word for our advice, new areas of wisdom, knowledge and understanding will come forth that will help us in our daily living. It is a most wonderful journey to begin to walk in the paths that God has prepared for us in His word, growing in them everyday being obedient to Him and learning to truly love Him. I want to encourage all of us to begin to grow in our wisdom , knowledge and understanding of God and let God be more a part of our lives so we can live a more victorious and abundant life. The things we face now and in the future will require a change in our lives and God's word provides that for us.
