The difference between "Just in case" and "Just in Time" Education

 When I think of the Word of God there are two types of education.

We all need to study the scriptures. This is "Just in case" education. This Word is called "Logos" It is used to refer to the written word of God, the Bible. We are told to; "And ye shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes." Deuteronomy 11:18.  As we do this, it is much easier to recognize the other Word of God in our lives.

Then there is "Just in Time" Education. This is the Word God speaks to us directly, through the Holy Spirit, in the moment we find ourselves. This is called "Rhema". It’s by the "Voice of God" in our thoughts that we can know God subjectively and experientially. This "Voice of God" is heard within our conscience. "All that are led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God" Romans 8:14

You would do well to search the Bible for the word conscience. You'll begin to understand how much God has been speaking to you. Then you'll begin to understand Prov. 3:5-6...

New International Version
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6. in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

New Living Translation
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

King James Version
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Contemporary English Version
With all your heart you must trust the LORD and not your own judgment. 6. Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.

Good News Translation
Trust in the LORD with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. 6. Remember the LORD in everything you do, and he will show you the right way.
