Study God Daily!
"How precious also are Your thoughts to me,
O God! How great is the sum of them!"
Psalm 139:17
Have you ever tried to study an immensely difficult
subject like abstract algebra or
quantitative methods
in economics? Just reading a simple explanation of
these subjects can boggle your mind.
What about theology—the study of God? Though only three
letters, GOD—no other subject overwhelms our mind more.
God is infinite in every way and all His attributes are eternal.
His existence unending; His holiness undying; His qualities
non-contradicting. The study of God is full of mystery and
paradox, but never illogical.
While we can’t fully understand all there is to know about
God, we can always strive to know Him better. The more
we will learn of Him, the greater our devotion to Him.
An
increasing knowledge of Him leads to growing worship,
praise, hope, and joy.
Wayne Grudem wrote, “The study of theology is not
merely a theoretical exercise of the intellect. It is
the
study of the living God, and of the wonders of all his
works in creation and redemption. We cannot study
this subject dispassionately!”
Our response to the study of the theology of
Scripture should be that of the psalmist who
said, “How precious to me are Your thoughts,
O God!”
