1Corinthians 10:6, "Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they also craved."
As we read the bible, it is easy for us to see it as a history book. we can fall into the trap of simply seeing it as stories of ancient people. However, through the Holy Spirit, these stories were written down as an example to us. They were not simply written down so we would worship God. They were written down so we could learn from their mistakes. By learning from their mistakes then we can strengthen our own relationship with God.
By studying their mistakes, we not only learn how to avoid them but we also improve our focus. If we spend time studying the Bible then we will draw our focus onto heavenly things. We will crave heavenly things. If we are focused on God then we will no longer crave things of this world. This is simply one little verse but it shows us the importance of learning from the Bible.
