Isaiah 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall
be the stability [emunah] of thy times, and
strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD
is his treasure.
Have you ever felt uneasy, unsettled or unstable? Or maybe a
better question is -- who hasn't? How do we overcome these feelings? This
is what George Muller wrote in His diary on May 9, 1841:
"Now, I saw that the most important thing I had to do
was to give myself
to the reading of the Word of God, and
to meditation on it, that thus my heart might be comforted, encouraged,
warned, reproved, instructed…by breakfast time, with rare exceptions, I
am in a peaceful if not happy state of heart."
The word faith in Hebrew is "emunah" (em-oo-nah). But
interestingly, the word stability in the verse
above is the Hebrew word, 'emunah"! Faith and stability are
linked one to another. How do we become more stable and settled
despite the circumstances surrounding our lives? By gaining
faith! "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing
by the Word of God."
When
we search for wisdom and knowledge
in His word, we become more stable in our walk -- and in our lives! Let’s
aim to spend more time in the Word and gain
more stability in our lives.(George, Baht Rivka, Elianna & Obadiah)
