You must be in fellowship prior to your Bible study, so that the spiritual information you receive can become a source, of blessing to your soul and produce spiritual growth. 1 Thessalonians 5:7 7 For [gar] they that sleep [katheudo] sleep [katheudo] in the night; [nux] and [kai] they that be drunken [methusko] are drunken [methuo] in the night. [nux] KJV-Interlinear 7 For
those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk
at night. NASB Typically people rest
and sleep during the night, and they are awake and active during the day. That is by design and that is the way that
most of the world generally operates. Drunkenness is generally
an activity of the night and frowned upon during the day. When a person is drunk
during the day, then that is viewed as a dishonor, since during the daylight
hours a person is expected to be sober. If a person is active
and drunk during the night, and hung-over and asleep during the day, then he is
looked upon as having his priorities backwards. Normal people sleep
during the night, and abnormal people use the
nighttime for drunkenness and carousing. The whole point of this
analogy is that, those who possess and maintain a spiritual life, function normally
during their life.Their work hours and
sleep hours are irrelevant.A spiritually
active person can work nights and sleep days with perfect normalcy. However, those who do
not possess or maintain their spiritual life, function abnormally. Again their work hours and sleep hours are
irrelevant, however for all practical purposes, their activities of life will
follow their spiritual dysfunction and they will function in abnormal patterns
in life.This is simply an overt manifestation
of the lack of their inner spiritual life. Though not mentioned
here, there are many sorts of dysfunctional behavior patterns, which are
indicators of the lack of a spiritual life in people in general. Men will act feminine, women will act masculine,
people will pursue non-biblical principles in life, and so forth. This can be a pretty long list of activities
or behavior patterns that run contrary to how people are generally expected to
behave or function in life. And though you should
not judge others, you certainly have the powers of observation, so you can see
for yourself, how the world operates.
Just keep your thoughts to yourself, of course.
Now is the time to post a prayer. End Of Lesson Study to show thyself approved (mature) unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (studying/discerning), the Word of truth. |
