The three Scriptures I wanted to include for this forum were Daniel 2:47, Jeremiah 33:2-3, and Acts 17:11. I wanted to choose these three scriptures because I believe they are related to search. I never thought Scripture would be related to research or even made that connection before, so I was delighted to indulge in this and basically pick apart these scriptures to make that following connection. The first piece of Scripture I want to explain is Daniel 2:47, which states, “The king said to Daniel, Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery. As soon as I read this, I tied this to research through the words’ mystery that were used. We know that research stems from the root cause of figuring our an answer to a solution or even debunking a myth. Research takes the mystery and turns it into fact. So in this piece of scripture when the king clarifies who is who to Daniel, he says they are revealers of mysteries, and from this, Daniel is able to also reveal the mystery. We turn to research components to interpret and justify the answer we are looking for, to provide clarification and give us insight to detangle the problem at hand. The second piece of Scipture is Jeremiah 33:2-3, it states, “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established itthe Lord is his name: Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ This relates to the world of research, because it is advising we call the Lord and how He will answer us to tell us the things we do not know. I also tie this in with prayer. When we struggle in life and want to find some type of guidance or answer, we pray, and we look to the Lord for guidance for our struggles. Just like in research, we gaze up research articles to help us debunk or solve a problem we are trying to fix or attempting to gain more insight on. Research gives us a sense of direction, just like how the Lord gives us a sense of guidance for the things we misconstrue. Finally, the last piece of Scripture is Acts 17:11, which states, “Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” We see here that the Jews once they received the message, they had eagerness to indulge in the Scripture to clarify in what Paul was saying about God was true. With regard to research, not only are we trying to find answers, but we are trying to find different answers to bring us to a conclusion. We read throughout the research articles, journals, or books on how this research was conducted, and created to bring us to some type of given conclusion for our answer. Every research piece may not come to the same conclusion, and that is perfectly fine, but we researchers are eager to find some type of gateway to solve the myth or hypothesis questioned at hand.
