Discovering God’s Truth
The Israelites are
stubborn, like a stubborn heifer. How then can the LORD pasture them like lambs
in a meadow? - Hosea 4:16
Are you strong
enough to face how mistaken many of your most cherished beliefs are? Well, here
are a few things you may not have known:
1. Marie Antoinette
never said, “Let them eat cake.” This phrase was attributed to her but had
actually been used by other prominent figures long before.
2. Charles Lindbergh
was not the first person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic. He was the 92nd,
although he was the first to do it alone.
3. The centipede
doesn’t have a hundred legs. It usually has 21 or 30, though some have more
than 100. And the millipede certainly doesn’t have a thousand legs. In fact,
very few have more than 200.
4. A red flag to a
bull is meaningless because bulls are colourblind.
5. The idea that
people never use more than 10% of their brain is false.
6. An ostrich never
buries its head in the sand. It only looks that way when it lowers its head in
fear, to feed itself, or to cover its eggs for protection.
When it comes to our
ideas of God, it’s important that we don’t have a stubborn heart and are
willing to accept when we might be wrong. So instead of assuming you have the
Christian life all figured out, live your life with a humble and teachable
attitude and let God guide you in His truth each day!
Prayer Challenge:
Ask God to reveal to
you areas where you have been stubborn and unteachable. Pray that He would
soften your heart in these areas so that you can grow in His truth!
