How like a beautiful string of pearls are the Words of the Lord!               

   God’s Word is an absolutely inexhaustible source of wisdom & knowledge in which you can constantly find “treasures new & old!” (Mat.13:52) It will stand a thousand readings, & he who has gone over it most frequently is the surest of finding new wonders there. Each time we delve into the Word we bring forth priceless truths by the handful!

   But these pearls of knowledge mean nothing without the Spirit! No matter how much you study, it takes the Spirit of God & the hand of God to string the pearls of His Word together in proper order, sorted out & made into something useful.–A wonderful beautiful string of truths to adorn our minds & hearts.–In proper order, sequence, size, importance & beauty! That’s the difference between knowledge & wisdom. Wisdom is how to use what you already know! It’s how to use the knowledge of God’s Word to make it useful.

    So don’t neglect the beauties, the riches & the treasures of the Word of God, but whatever you get, ask God for WISDOM! “With all thy getting, get wisdom.” It’s better than gold! (Pro.4:7; 16:16)

上主的圣言就像一串美丽的珍珠链!

上帝的圣言是充满智慧和知识的无尽泉源,你能时时不断地在里面找到“新与旧的宝藏!”(太13:52)你能读它一千次也不觉得厌倦,而那些最常阅读它的人,就是那些最肯定会在里面找到新的奇妙的人。每当我们钻研圣言时,我们都能找到一堆堆无价的真理!

但是假如没有圣灵的话,这些知识之珠就是没有意义的!不论你研读多少,你都必须要有上帝的圣灵及上帝之手,来把他的圣言之珠按着正确的次序串在一起,将它们分类、使之成为有用的东西。他将它们串成一条装饰我们思想心灵的奇妙而美丽的真理之链。它们以正确的次序、按照其先后、大小、重要性及美丽程度排列着!这就是知识与智慧之间的分别。智慧是知道怎样运用你已经知道的事!智慧是知道如何使用上帝圣言的知识,来使它成为有用的。

所以不要忽略上帝圣言的美丽、财富及宝藏,但不管你从上帝求得什么,请求上帝赐给你智慧吧!“在你一切所求得之内,去求得智慧。”它比黄金还要美好!(箴4:7;16:16)
