28th May 2017 THRIVING - WHEN OUR BELIEFS ARE BELITTLED

“Always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life, so guard it well.”  Proverbs 4:13 (Today’s English Version)
 
Most people don’t care what we believe. But there are a vocal few who want to belittle our faith. Daniel gives us an example of someone who was indoctrinated against God’s teaching for three years, yet he grew in God’s wisdom and understanding. His advice was ten times better than all the king’s other advisors (see Daniel 1).
 
Proverbs 23:23 tells us to “invest in truth and wisdom, discipline and good sense, and don’t part with them” (Contemporary English Version).  Good counsel for all God’s life long learners.
