More Open Minded
Scripture:
10 That night the believers sent Paul and Silas off to the city of Berea, where they once again went into the synagogue. 11 They found that the Jews of Berea were of more noble character and much more open minded than those of Thessalonica. They were hungry to learn and eagerly received the word. Every day they opened the scrolls of Scripture to search and examine them, to verify that what Paul taught them was true. 12 A large number of Jews became believers in Jesus, along with quite a few influential Greek women and men. (Acts 17:10-12 The Passion)
There were so many people that were trying hard to find something against what Paul was teaching. But the Jews of Berea certainly did not do the same. They were hungry to learn and that made all the difference. These Jews were much more open minded and of noble character. They examined and carefully checked what Paul was teaching and found it to be true and so a large number believed. We can often be so quick to not believe, but with our minds open to truth, we will be able to believe.
Father, I want to remain hungry for Your truth and to be open minded. You have been so very faithful as we have walked with You! Thank You! AMEN
Lord God, teach me more about You, how You work and how You move, so that I can walk onward in Your truth. With all my heart and passion I will thank You. Psalm 86
