"Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."--1Timothy 4:16
Lessons:
always be grateful!:
God sent an angel to destroy a people because they were always grumbling and
not remembering all the miracles he did for them.
God's #1:
everything is devoted to him, all we do is through (and for) Christ, yes I'm madly in love with God
so was David and Daniel
growing from circumstance:
"The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride."--Ecclesiastes 7:8
how you come out of a crisis is more important than how
you go in, beware bitterness!
What they say:
A lot of times people are mean and call others (even really good people) bad things! Don't let them get to you. Forget it.
You are what you decide to be. Examples: Saul and Jonathon, Jezebel and Elijah, the Pharasees and the blind/mute man
who got his sight and voice from Jesus. If you are a disciple, read Luke 6.
