Back to School!

God's Boys will be good boys!

Taking stock of the use of your mind! I told you this morning that I really believe that the only reason that God preserved the wicked king Nebuchadnezzar was because he was the one to make good and right use of the minds of the Hebrew boys. Whatever else wicked he did, he challenged and worked those boys minds to the use in the entire world. We have that responsibility to challenge and use the minds that God gave us for His glory and for a good use in the world around us. We are awaiting His appearing (Paroucia) in the meantime, let us take captivity captive. Not just sitting and waiting, but making good use of the sword of the spirit.
Daniel got to use the sword of the spirit in the most wicked civilization and God was not mocked and not overcome by the odds. 4 godly minds in an entire wicked empire were not overthrown or overwrought. God is sovereign over all of the universe. Every philosphy is subject to Him! You will never know this unless you challenge your mind to take to task every philosophy that overwhelms you. Don't give it up and say, I can't do that. It is not for me. Challenge yourself and see what God can do. The Hebrew boys did it under threat of death, you do it under the goodness of God and the promise of life!
