THE PATH TO TRUE SUCCESS
1. What is Wisdom? Wisdom is the key to a life of beauty, fulfillment, and
purpose (Prov. 3:15-18). Wisdom is the skill in the art of
living life with every area under the dominion of God.
It is the ability to use the best means at the best time to
accomplish the best ends.
2. How do we pursue wisdom? The treasure of wisdom rests in the hands of God.
Since it comes from above (Prov. 2:6;cf.James 3:17), we
cannot attain it apart from Him.
3. What are the conditions True wisdom can only be gained by cultivating the
for attaining wisdom? fear of the Lord (Job 28:28; Ps. 86:11;111:10;
Prov. 1:7;9:10).
4. What is the fear of the Lord? To fear God is to have an attitude of awe and humility
before Him (Prov 15:33). It is to recognize Him as our
Creator and our complete dependence upon Him in every
activity of our lives.
5. Why have so few people The temporal value system of this world is based on what
developed this fear of God? is seen, while the eternal value system of Scripture is
based on what is unseen (2 Cor. 4:16-18;5:7). The former
exerts a powerful influence upon us, and we struggle with
giving up the seen for the unseen.
6. What can enable us to This choice is based on faith (believing God in spite of
choose the eternal value appearances and circumstances), and faith is based on
system? trust.
7. How do we grow in faith? Our ability to trust God is directly proportional to our
knowledge of God. The better we know Him, the more
we can trust Him.
8. How can we increase in We become intimate with God as we talk with Him in
our knowledge of God? prayer and listen to His voice in Scripture. The better we
know God, the more we love Him and want to respond to
His desires for our lives. Faith in God is simply trusting
Him as a person, and trust is manifested in action. ____________________________________________________________________________________

THE MEANING OF "DAY"
"And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And evening and the morning were the first day" (Genesis 1:5).
Many people today, professing to believe the Bible, have compromised with the evolutionary philosophy which dominates our society by accepting its framework of geological ages. This system interprets the rocks and fossils in terms of a supposed 4.6-billion-year history of the earth and life culminating in the evolution of early humans perhaps a million years ago. In order to justify this compromise, they usually say that the "days" of creation really correspond to the geological ages, arguing that the Hebrew word for "day" (yom) does not have to mean a literal solar day.
Oh, yes, it does-at least in Genesis chapter one! God, knowing that the pagan philosophers of antiquity would soon try to distort His record of creation into long ages of pantheistic evolution (as in the Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, and other such ancient cosmogonies), was careful to define His terms! "God called the light Day," and that was the first day with its evening and morning. All subsequent days have followed the same pattern-a period of darkness (night), then a period of light (day).
One may quibble about the exact length of the day if he insists (e.g., equatorial days versus polar days), but there is no way this definition can accommodate a geological age. This is the very first reference to "day" (or yom) in the Bible, and this is given as an actual statement of the meaning of the word.
This ought to settle the question for anyone who really believes the Bible. One may decide to believe the evolutionary geologists if he wishes, instead of God, but he should at least let God speak for Himself. God says the days of creation were literal days, not ages. "In six days the LORD made heaven and earth" (Exodus 31: 17). Copied from “Days Of Praise”
