This is so encouraging, Jake. I believe that this is important even for those of us who are older perhaps burdened with the things of life that tempt us to rely on anything but God. Last night, I was reminded of what Peter said after Jesus asked them if they were going to leave Him as well. Peter’s response is priceless, “LORD, to whom shall we go away? Words of life eternal you have. And as for us, we have believed and still believe and have come to know and still know experientially that you are the Holy One of God” (Jn 6,68-69 Wuest). The others had “went away to the things they had left, and no longer with Him were they ordering their manner of life” (Jn 6,66b Wuest).
Your instruction and encouragement is solid for all to be on guard. For this world seeks to distract, despair, and destroy the human heart. What wisdom you display for a young man. Praise the LORD for He has raised up a standard among men to show the way to the next generation.
