But only God breathes life into me through His Word. When it comes to the Bible, study is not simply the accumulation of knowledge or information. We don't read the Bible as we read the newspaper. Bible study is the pursuit not of information but of wisdom. That is what makes study of it sweet as honey.
Wisdom is knowledge applied.
Wisdom is transforming life-knowledge communicated by God's Spirit. Wilson Boots gives an example of the distorted thinking of materialism that constantly bombards us. This year, with electricity, the majority of small huts have televisions. Aimed at poverty-stricken villagers, the absurdity of the claim is made clear. As we study the Bible, we develop the mind of Christ by studying the mind of God revealed in His Word.
