Suggestion # 12 On Bible Study

Suggestion # 12 On Studying The Bible:  My father was a carpenter and had many tools. I was always fascinated by his tools. He had drills, saws, hammers, screw drivers, nails, screws, measuring tapes, etc. These were necessary for him to do his job and do it well. The same is true in regard to the study of the Bible. It is work. "Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body." (Eccl. 12:12). I have been so tired and hungry after hours and hours of detailed study. The Bible teaches, "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." (2 Tim. 2:15). Notice, that one is a worker who should do his/her work well and not to be ashamed of such. Do your work well in the study of the Bible. Other books in this life that you read and study are to make money at a job, information, or entertainment. But, your study of the Bible is not only to live a better life here but to find true life in eternity. That is an awesome task. No other book in the world can compare to that. Here are tools to consider. This is taken from an online site that I enjoy. Today, we are blessed with nearly unlimited online resources. www.Biblestudytools.com
