"Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea. If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him? For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it? For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt." Job 11:7-12
A person may know all about the rocks, and their heart remain as hard as they are. A person may know all about the winds, and be the sport of passions as fierce as they. A person may know all about the stars, and their fate be the meteor's that after a brief brilliant career is quenched in eternal night. A person may know all about the sea, and their soul resemble its troubled waters which cannot rest. A person may know how to rule the spirits of the elements, yet know not how to rule their own. A person may even know how to set aside a flashing bolt of thunder, but not the wrath of God from their own guilty heart. You may know all that Shakespeare knew, all that Einstein knew, all that the greatest geniuses have known ~ all mysteries and all knowledge. BUT if you do NOT know your Bible, what good will it bring you? REMEMBER, Knowledge is vain without God's grace!
May your day be wonderfully blessed by the grace of God.
