Speaker 1: We've been looking at the life of Daniel, who lived
Speaker 1: about twenty five hundred years ago. At fifteen years of age,
Speaker 1: he was taken as a prisoner of war to the
Speaker 1: Babylonian Empire with about twenty five percent of the Jewish nation.
Speaker 1: But there he just continued to pass every test of life,
Speaker 1: and when he was eighty five seventy years later, he
Speaker 1: is the second most powerful man in the most powerful
Speaker 1: empire in the world. Daniel had developed his reputation as
Speaker 1: being the go to guy because he was the wisest
Speaker 1: man in the empire. In fact, let's go back and
Speaker 1: let me show you what the queen and the King
Speaker 1: said about this guy here on the screen. The queen
Speaker 1: said this, this man Daniel, has a sharp mind, and
Speaker 1: he's filled with knowledge and understanding, and he can interpret dreams.
Speaker 1: He can explain the meaning of mysteries being solved difficult problems.
Speaker 1: So call for Daniel and he'll tell you what it means.
Speaker 1: And so they put out the call, SOS, bring Daniel in.
Speaker 1: And when he gets into the the banquet hall, this
Speaker 1: is what the king said the next verse. I have
Speaker 1: heard Daniel that the spirit of God is in you,
Speaker 1: that you possess brilliant knowledge and extraordinary wisdom, not incredible reputation.
Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. Note those three things. He says,
Speaker 1: You've got God's spirit in you. You are You're brilliant
Speaker 1: in your knowledge, and you're extraordinary in your wisdom. Wouldn't
Speaker 1: you like to have people say that about you? Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: if you would, you picked a good weekend to come
Speaker 1: to church, because that's what we're going to look at.
Speaker 1: How do you become wise? Like Daniel? God used this guy,
Speaker 1: Daniel because he was wise. But wisdom is a choice,
Speaker 1: and you can choose to become wise through learning and
Speaker 1: through study and dedication and prayer. And the Bible's got
Speaker 1: a lot to say about wisdom and learning. We could
Speaker 1: spend an entire six months on this one, but let
Speaker 1: me just show you one verse. Here's a verse up
Speaker 1: here on the screen job chapter eight, Verse eight, verse nine.
Speaker 1: It says this, ask the former generations and find out
Speaker 1: what their fathers learned. For we were born only yesterday
Speaker 1: and we know so little. He says, I want you
Speaker 1: to go out and ask the former generations. You need
Speaker 1: to learn the lessons of people who came before you.
Speaker 1: Become a student of history, the more you understand what's
Speaker 1: happened to pass, It's all been done before, just in
Speaker 1: various fronts. Well, we saw that three hundred years ago,
Speaker 1: we saw that nine hundred years ago, we saw that
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred years ago. And the more you know it
Speaker 1: builds your your foundation. The Bible says, listen to the
Speaker 1: past generations and learn from them, and learn from biographies,
Speaker 1: which is why so much of this book, the Bible,
Speaker 1: it's stories. It's filled with biographies. Now these aren't These
Speaker 1: aren't fairy tales Little Peter Cottontale and you know, Jeopardy
Speaker 1: Rabbit or something. These are real people. Moses was real,
Speaker 1: and Ebiconezer was real, Daniel was real, Jesus was real.
Speaker 1: These are people that actually happened. And the reason I
Speaker 1: love the Bible because it always tells the truth. It
Speaker 1: didn't just share the good stuff about them. He tells
Speaker 1: all of the you know, the bad stuff too, is
Speaker 1: he goes, well, okay, then I can relate to that.
Speaker 1: In fact, all of these life lessons that are in
Speaker 1: this book you need. And the more you know these,
Speaker 1: the wiser you're going to be. The wiser you're going
Speaker 1: to be. In fact, look at this next verse on
Speaker 1: your outline. Why what the Bible says about itself? First Corinthians,
Speaker 1: chapter ten. These things talking about the stuff that's in
Speaker 1: the Bible. These things occurred as examples to warn us
Speaker 1: and to keep us from wanting to do the same
Speaker 1: evil kind of things they did. For the scripture says
Speaker 1: that we should avoid drunken party, sexual immorality, worshiping things
Speaker 1: that aren't God. We should test. We should not test
Speaker 1: the Lord's patience or grumble and complain as some did,
Speaker 1: and they died. And he said these things happened as examples,
Speaker 1: and they were written down as warnings for us. So
Speaker 1: these are the first two things. Make a commitment to
Speaker 1: never stop learning, learn the lessons of the prior generations.
Speaker 1: Number three, the Bible says, maintain a humble attitude that
Speaker 1: honors God. Maintain throughout your life a humble attitude that
Speaker 1: honors God. I said it earlier. Humility and teachability actually
Speaker 1: go together. Be humble or you'll stumble. The more humble
Speaker 1: you are, the less you'll stumble. The Bible says, pride
Speaker 1: goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Now,
Speaker 1: humility begins by simply realizing you're not God. If you
Speaker 1: ever get under stress, repeat this three times and call
Speaker 1: me God is God and I'm not. God is God,
Speaker 1: and I'm not. God is God and I'm not. You
Speaker 1: need to realize you're not God, and you need to
Speaker 1: realize you need God. That's humility. If you don't realize that,
Speaker 1: you're not a humble person. Now, the Bible says in
Speaker 1: Proverbs fifteen this verse thirty three, reverence for the Lord
Speaker 1: is an education in itself. You must be humble before
Speaker 1: you can ever receive honors. So he said, you know,
Speaker 1: you want to start out with a lifelong goal to
Speaker 1: be wise. Get to know God. And the more you
Speaker 1: get to know God, the more you get to know
Speaker 1: His word, You're going to simply be a wiser person.
Speaker 1: You'll be wiser in relationships. You'll be wiser in the
Speaker 1: way you manage your money. You'll be wiser in handling conflict,
Speaker 1: You'll be wiser in diffusing problems. You'll just be wiser
Speaker 1: in a whole lot of different areas because you're not
Speaker 1: simply depending on your own intellect. You're getting the wisdom
Speaker 1: of God, the wisdom of the ages. And he says,
Speaker 1: maintain a humble attitude. By the way, do you know
Speaker 1: what the first mark of humility to God is in baptized? Yeah,
Speaker 1: being baptist. Being baptized as a humble statement said God
Speaker 1: your God, and I'm not. And I recognize this. Have
Speaker 1: you ever been baptized? If you haven't, I would encourage
Speaker 1: you to do so. Now. I know some people say, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to get my hair wet.
Speaker 1: That's called pride. That's called pride. Sorry, that's the very
Speaker 1: reason you need to do it. It's a statement of humility.
Speaker 1: I know some people say, well, I was baptized as
Speaker 1: a baby. Terrific, that's fantastic. That was a wonderful statement
Speaker 1: of faith by your parents. Do you even remember it? No,
Speaker 1: it was their decision, not yours. You need to make
Speaker 1: your own decision in baptism too. In addition, you know
Speaker 1: how old Jesus was when he was baptized. He's thirty.
Speaker 1: He was thirty. It was this all adult decision, wasn't
Speaker 1: his parents' decision? Now, when he was a baby, his
Speaker 1: parents took him to the temple had him dedicated. His
Speaker 1: adult baptism did not invalidate what happened when he was
Speaker 1: a baby. It's not like one or the other. He
Speaker 1: did both. If you have not been baptized the way
Speaker 1: Jesus was, I'm going to be baptizing. Actually next week
Speaker 1: we have a pool out of here. We got a
Speaker 1: short shower, shower, towers, towels and stuff like that. And
Speaker 1: so what I do, the Bible says, baptism is a
Speaker 1: picture of two things, of Jesus dying, being buried in
Speaker 1: the ground, and being raised again. And it's also a
Speaker 1: picture of you dying to all your sins are forgiven,
Speaker 1: and beginning a new perspective in new life. And so
Speaker 1: just as Jesus was dyed, was buried in the ground
Speaker 1: three days and rose again, I take you and put
Speaker 1: you under the water, leave you there three days, just
Speaker 1: seeing if you're listening and if you and raise you up.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this James, Chapter four, verse six. God
Speaker 1: opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble.
Speaker 1: Why does God oppose the proud because they're unteachable. They
Speaker 1: think they know it all they can't learn humility? Is
Speaker 1: then I can learn from anybody. You can teach me.
Speaker 1: Can I teach you? Can other people teach you humility?
Speaker 1: Means you can learn literally from anybody. Now, Number four,
Speaker 1: the fourth key to wisdom is to refuse to fill
Speaker 1: my mind with garbage. Refuse to fill my mind with garbage.
Speaker 1: You know, we're all worried about water pollution and air pollution,
Speaker 1: and we ought to be. We're to take care of
Speaker 1: the planet, But those very people are often not even
Speaker 1: worried about the pollution they allowed in their mind. The concepts,
Speaker 1: the words, the thoughts that are actually harmful to your
Speaker 1: life on television and movies and books, and actually, when
Speaker 1: it comes down to what you feed your mind is
Speaker 1: as important as what you feed your body. So what
Speaker 1: do you need to eat more of? What do you
Speaker 1: need to eat less of? In the content that you
Speaker 1: fill your mind with, there's basically four kinds of content
Speaker 1: you can fill your mind with. You can fill it
Speaker 1: with a poison. Poison is stuff that will kill you.
Speaker 1: There are concepts that will actually derange you, or degrade you,
Speaker 1: or demoralize you, or defeat you. There are self defeating
Speaker 1: thoughts that you tell yourself. There are self defeating thoughts
Speaker 1: that other people tell you. That stufs, poison, pornography is poison.
Speaker 1: You don't fill your mind with that kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: so you stay away from that. But then a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff is just junk food, and a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff that's on TV I call it the equivalent of
Speaker 1: mental twinkies. There's no nutritional value in it. It's just there.
Speaker 1: And yeah, you can eat junk food, but you're not
Speaker 1: going to be very wise watching the Kardashians. I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's going to make anybody smarter doing that.
Speaker 1: Then the third thing you can fill your mind with
Speaker 1: is brain food, and that's good stuff. Now, the people
Speaker 1: who are on the stage just now, they deal in
Speaker 1: brain food, and they teach you stuff about life. They
Speaker 1: teach you stuff about you know, science and math and
Speaker 1: history and English and geography. That's brain food. That's good stuff.
Speaker 1: You need to fill your mind with, you know, stuff
Speaker 1: that educates you makes you a stronger and more rounded person.
Speaker 1: But then you also need an addition of brain food.
Speaker 1: You need superfood. And that's what this is. This is superfood.
Speaker 1: It can teach you stuff that you're not going to
Speaker 1: get anywhere else in how to relate to life and
Speaker 1: how to relate it answers the fundamental questions like who
Speaker 1: am I? Where am I? Where did I come from?
Speaker 1: Where am I going? Does my life matter? Is their
Speaker 1: purpose to my life? Is there meaning? Am I significant?
Speaker 1: Those kind of questions are in this book. Their answers
Speaker 1: are right there.
Speaker 2: If you want to live a life full of purpose
Speaker 2: and joy, then you need to transform the way you think.
Speaker 2: And to help you do this, Pastorik created a brand
Speaker 2: new set of scripture cards with fifty two hand selected
Speaker 2: verses from his series Rethinking your Life. These verses will
Speaker 2: guide you into a deeper understanding of your purpose and faith,
Speaker 2: and you'll find yourself gaining the strength to overcome temptation
Speaker 2: and conquer discouragement. When you allow God's word to transform
Speaker 2: your mind, you'll see your life through his eyes, apply
Speaker 2: his wisdom, and step into a life of purpose and joy.
Speaker 2: This set of beautifully designed cards will help you memorize
Speaker 2: scripture so you can recall God's word when you need
Speaker 2: it the most. And today, when you give a gift
Speaker 2: to help daily hope, take the hope of Jesus to
Speaker 2: a world in need. Will send you the Rethinking your
Speaker 2: Life scripture card set to say thanks.
Speaker 1: Okay. Number five The fifth thing, and this is the
Speaker 1: most important of all. If you're gonna learn to be wise.
Speaker 1: You must put into practice what I've already learned. Put
Speaker 1: into practice what I've learned. God doesn't teach you the
Speaker 1: second thing about life until you actually act on the
Speaker 1: stuff you already know. God is not in the business
Speaker 1: of simply satisfying your curiosity. And I'll tell you fifteen
Speaker 1: really cool things about life. Now. He tells you one thing,
Speaker 1: and he waits for you to act on it. Once
Speaker 1: you act on it, then you get to go to
Speaker 1: the next step. Once you act on that, you get
Speaker 1: to go to level stage two and three and four
Speaker 1: and five. You have to apply the truth. You have
Speaker 1: to act on the truth. You have to internalize what
Speaker 1: you've learned. There's a guy go out on TV right now.
Speaker 1: This goes like this. Say, you're not really a firefighter
Speaker 1: until you've fought a fire, and you're not really an
Speaker 1: actor until you've actually act in something. You're not really
Speaker 1: an author till you actually authored a book. And I
Speaker 1: would say you're not really a believer in God until
Speaker 1: you start living by what you claim to believe. I
Speaker 1: have to act on it. I have to apply it.
Speaker 1: I have to internalize it. I want you to write
Speaker 1: this down on your outline I haven't learned it until
Speaker 1: I do it. I haven't learned it until I do it.
Speaker 1: If I were to say, do you believe the Bible,
Speaker 1: A lot of you say, sure, raised I believe the Bible.
Speaker 1: I said, well, do you do it? Well? No, then
Speaker 1: you don't really believe it. You only believe the things
Speaker 1: in life that you actually do. The Bible says you're
Speaker 1: to forgive your enemies. Do you believe that yet? Do
Speaker 1: you do it? No, then you don't really believe it.
Speaker 1: I only believe what I actually do, and I haven't
Speaker 1: really learned until I do it. Now, bel Shazar, this guy,
Speaker 1: this king, he loses everything because he failed to do
Speaker 1: this last point. He failed to put into practice what
Speaker 1: he had seen and learned, and he pridefully refuses to
Speaker 1: learn the lessons of the prior generation. Remember, this guy
Speaker 1: is the grandson of the most famous king of the
Speaker 1: biggest empire of that day, nebucon Nezer. He saw nebucon
Speaker 1: Nezzer literally lose his mind for about seven years out
Speaker 1: of pride. He saw all the mistakes his grandfather made.
Speaker 1: He saw his grandfather come back and correct those things.
Speaker 1: He saw the good and the bad, and his life
Speaker 1: and he chose to ignore God. He chose to ignore
Speaker 1: the lessons. He chose to be prideful and throw parties.
Speaker 1: And God said, okay, you know, I might understand if
Speaker 1: you didn't know this, but you know this, and so
Speaker 1: your kingdom is being taken away. It's going to be divided.
Speaker 1: And Daniel was the one guy in the empire who
Speaker 1: had the courage to point it out. Look up here
Speaker 1: on the screen. Here's what the Bible says. Daniel said
Speaker 1: to King Belshazzar, even though you knew, you knew what
Speaker 1: happened to your father, You knew all that happened to
Speaker 1: your father, and never can answer. Now, actually you need
Speaker 1: to understand it. Never can answer was his grandfather. But
Speaker 1: in Babylonian culture you called any predecessor father, so they're
Speaker 1: using the predecessor term here. He said, you knew what
Speaker 1: your predecessor did, you didn't learn, but you didn't learn
Speaker 1: from his life, and you still refuse to humble yourself
Speaker 1: before God, who rules from heaven. Now, notice on that
Speaker 1: verse he says you knew, and he says you didn't learn.
Speaker 1: Is there a difference between knowing and learning. Yes, you
Speaker 1: know a lot of things, but you haven't learned it
Speaker 1: to you put into practice. I can go to a
Speaker 1: marriage seminar and learn all about how to have a
Speaker 1: good marriage and come home. And if I put the
Speaker 1: seminar on the shelf and I don't know anything about it,
Speaker 1: I haven't learned a thing. It's like if I say,
Speaker 1: you know, I want to lose some weight, I'm going
Speaker 1: to get a diet book down and I start reading
Speaker 1: it and underlining while I'm eating my Twinkies and my
Speaker 1: Wuacamolean chips and coke float. Man, I feel so healthy
Speaker 1: just reading this book. Has it changed anything in my life? Nothing?
Speaker 1: Not a thing, not a zip zero. I haven't learned
Speaker 1: it until I do it. Do you know certain foods
Speaker 1: are bad for you, but you eat him anyway? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I can know about God and never learn to trust him.
Speaker 1: That's the difference. The Bible says wisdom comes not from
Speaker 1: the knowing, wisdom comes from the doing. So here's the
Speaker 1: big lesson of this story. Why don't you write it down?
Speaker 1: If I don't humbly learn from the generations before me,
Speaker 1: this King Belshazer didn't, then I'm going to end up
Speaker 1: making the same mistakes. If I don't humbly learn from
Speaker 1: the generations before me. I will end up making the
Speaker 1: exact same mistakes. And you learn a lot of things
Speaker 1: and have a lot of head knowledge, but not heart
Speaker 1: and knowledge. Some people say some people are going to
Speaker 1: miss having by eighteen inches because they got it in
Speaker 1: their head. They don't have it in their heart. They
Speaker 1: know that they haven't learned. They haven't learned it. You know,
Speaker 1: true confession. I went to school a lot a long time.
Speaker 1: I went to school for twenty four years, get my master's,
Speaker 1: get my doctorate, and in my field, the languages you
Speaker 1: have to learn took a long time, and I will
Speaker 1: say I've forgotten a lot of it, but I have
Speaker 1: never forgotten the most important thing. So let me tell
Speaker 1: you what I learned in twenty four years of school.
Speaker 1: This is the most important thing to learn. You were
Speaker 1: made by God, and you were made for God. And
Speaker 1: until you understand that life is never going to make sense.
Speaker 1: You were not made for you. You were made by
Speaker 1: God and for God. And until you understand that life
Speaker 1: is never going to make sense. Here's what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: Look up here on the screen one Timothy six twenty one.
Speaker 1: Some people have missed the most important thing in life.
Speaker 1: They don't know God. Do you. You might know string theory,
Speaker 1: you might know chaos theory, you might know quantum physics.
Speaker 1: That if you don't know God, sorry, you missed the
Speaker 1: purpose of your life. Some of you, students, your honor students, congratulations,
Speaker 1: you get straight a's. Congratulations. But at the end of
Speaker 1: your life and all of our lives, God's going to
Speaker 1: give us a final test. And the good news about
Speaker 1: that it's an open book test. Okay, all the answers
Speaker 1: are here, So you had an entire lifetime to prepare
Speaker 1: for God's final test. It's an open book test. And
Speaker 1: on that test, God is not going to say, did
Speaker 1: you show me your report card? You get straight a's,
Speaker 1: and God's not gonna say how'd you do in your career.
Speaker 1: God's not gonna say, let me see your bank account balance.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna say any of those things. He's going
Speaker 1: to say this, did you get to know me? Were
Speaker 1: we friends? Did you build a relationship with my son
Speaker 1: who I sent to earth to die on the cross
Speaker 1: for you? You know you know about it, but did
Speaker 1: you learn it? You know about it, but did you
Speaker 1: learn it? Did you build you had the religion, did
Speaker 1: you have the relationship? Let me ask a real question, said,
Speaker 1: do you have God in your life? Oh? Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got God in my life. Really, has he made
Speaker 1: any big changes? Has he transformed your life in any way? No? No,
Speaker 1: but God's in here. Oh yeah, God's He's never changed
Speaker 1: in it. No. Let me just say this as I'm
Speaker 1: not an authority on a lot of things, but i
Speaker 1: am an authority on human behavior because I've dealt with
Speaker 1: people for forty five years, tens and tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of people. God is big, and God is really really
Speaker 1: really really really big, and somebody who's just really really
Speaker 1: really really really big can't come into your life without
Speaker 1: it making a really really really big change. So you
Speaker 1: may have gotten something, but you didn't get God. You
Speaker 1: might have gotten religion, but you don't have a relationship.
Speaker 1: Some people have missed the most important thing in life.
Speaker 1: They don't know me. Would you like to get to
Speaker 1: know them? That I can help you do? It starts
Speaker 1: with humility. That's power heads. Would you pray a simple prayer?
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter what you say, Just talk to God.
Speaker 1: The most important thing is that your attitude is humble.
Speaker 1: You might just start with the thing God, I've never
Speaker 1: really said this to you. You're God and I'm not,
Speaker 1: and I need you in my life. I'll pray a
Speaker 1: little prayer right now. If you want to follow me,
Speaker 1: you can just say these words too. Just go me
Speaker 1: to God. What Rick's saying. That's me. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: So if you want to pray it, you can just
Speaker 1: say it too. Dear God, You're not said aloud, say
Speaker 1: it in your mind. He knows your thoughts. Dear God,
Speaker 1: I know you made me, I know you love me,
Speaker 1: and I know about you, but I really want to
Speaker 1: know you personally, and I want you in my life.
Speaker 1: And so today, as humbly as I can say it,
Speaker 1: I open my life to you. I want to start
Speaker 1: the journey of learning. And I want that to be
Speaker 1: a lifelong journey of learning, not just about the world,
Speaker 1: but about you, and about others and about myself. And
Speaker 1: I want to learn more and more about you every day.
Speaker 1: And so I want to take these five statements of
Speaker 1: growing in wisdom, and I want to begin this process today. First,
Speaker 1: I want to make a commitment to never stop learning,
Speaker 1: to learning more about you and more about life and
Speaker 1: anything else you want to teach me. Help me to
Speaker 1: learn the lessons of prior generations to not make the
Speaker 1: same mistakes they did. Help me to maintain a humble
Speaker 1: attitude that honors you. God. Help me to be more
Speaker 1: discriminating in what I allow in my mind. To refuse
Speaker 1: to put junk in my mind, but to fill it
Speaker 1: with brain food and superfood. And then, most of all,
Speaker 1: help me to practice what I've learned. I don't want
Speaker 1: to get to the end of my life at the
Speaker 1: final exam and how you say you didn't pass, so
Speaker 1: as best I know how, I humble myself when I
Speaker 1: ask you today to accept me into your family. I
Speaker 1: want to learn you to love you. I want to
Speaker 1: learn to trust you. I want to understand what Jesus
Speaker 1: you came to do. And I simply pray this in
Speaker 1: your name. Amen. Hi everybody, this is Pastor Rick. Because
Speaker 1: of the generous support of many of you Daily Hope listeners,
Speaker 1: we're able to offer Daily Hope devotionals for free worldwide.
Speaker 1: In fact, today I have a note from Paul in
Speaker 1: Kenya that shows how God is at work through the
Speaker 1: Daily Hope devotionals. Paul wrote me. He said, I'd like
Speaker 1: to sincerely thank you for the free gift of your
Speaker 1: daily hope devotionals. May God receive all the glory. For
Speaker 1: some time now, You're inspiring and encouraging messages, along with
Speaker 1: scripture references, have helped me push through some really tough
Speaker 1: times and get closer to God. However, Paul writes, the
Speaker 1: best part is that my faith in God has now
Speaker 1: grown to the point that He recently gave me the
Speaker 1: strength and wisdom to accept His free, undeserved gifts to
Speaker 1: grace and salvation. By accepting and confessing Jesus Christ as
Speaker 1: my Lord and Savior, I feel like a new being,
Speaker 1: and I yearn to keep growing more and more in
Speaker 1: God's word and in wisdom, surrendering my life to His
Speaker 1: will alone. So please hold my hand in this journey
Speaker 1: to the glory and honor of God to Christ Jesus Paul,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, I will hold your hand as you
Speaker 1: journey with Jesus. There is no greater decision that you
Speaker 1: could have made than believing and receiving Jesus Christ. So congratulations.
Speaker 1: You're my brother in Christ, and I want to encourage
Speaker 1: you to be on the lookout every day to see
Speaker 1: how God guides you, how God directs you. It's an
Speaker 1: exciting journey. And by the way, keep studying His word
Speaker 1: every day. Get a Bible and read it every day.
Speaker 1: I'm so thankful that Daily Hope devotionals helping you to
Speaker 1: do just that. Now. The Daily Hope devotional is helping many,
Speaker 1: many people just like Paul, all around the world to
Speaker 1: grow closer to God. And it's free. If you're not
Speaker 1: getting it, I want to encourage you to go to
