Bible Question: How can we apply each verse to our everyday lives. |
Bible Answer: JMackey23 ::: Sorry, J, but I'm not following you on this. The Scripture reference you give is 1 Chronicles 16:8, which begins a psalm of thanksgiving delivered by David. I fail to see in it any specific application to one's personal "success" in life: it is a hymn of praise and thanksgiving to God, not a formula for man's personal "success" in life, whatever that may mean. I really don't view the Bible as a manual that teaches one how to become rich and famous, if we may use that as a working definition of what the world calls "success." Jesus put things in a different perspective when He said, "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-21). ....... And Jesus, referring to temporal possessions, also said, "Seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you." (Luke 12:31). ..... So should we go to the word of God to learn how to be rich? Oh, yes! A thousand times yes! We need to know what true riches are and what they are not, and the Bible will surely teach us that. True riches are not to be found in what the world has to give, but in "the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8). Now this may or may not answer your question; I don't know. But it's submitted as something that's at least worth thinking about. Don't you think? :-) --Hank |
