Destee, if I may say, you are both humble and wise!
now to add my two cents which really ain't my two cents
Psalms 119:97
MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day
Psalms 119:98
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] ever with me.
Psalms 119:99
I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.
Psalms 119:100
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
I like this because it explains the what and why of David's wisdom
and understanding.
Another way it is put in the Bible is that the fear of God is the begining of wisdom and obedience is understanding.
That's like saying that this is all that really matters since this is what matters to God. Not that being aware of other's views is bad. However someone here mentioned that other biblical leaders knew of other faiths, cultures, etc. The thing is they either knew it before the knew God or they had to know it. Just something to consider. Each Christian's walk is a little different. And you sound as though you are allowing the Spirit to be your guide. God bless.
