Me: Look out for counterfeit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: I know what is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from Waiting from Ben Patterson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American banking association once sponsored a two-week training program to help tellers detect counterfeit bills. The program was unique–never during the two-week training did the tellers even look at a counterfeit bill, nor did they listen to any lectures concerning the characteristics of counterfeit bills….All they did for two weeks was handle authentic currency, hour after hour and day after day, until they were so familiar with the true that they could not possibly be fooled by the false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to study, meditate on, and apply God’s Word until we are so familiar with it that we cannot be fooled by anything less than real truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proverbs 19:21<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
