We pray that we are not put to the test. I pray that Wes never has to be put to the test, but if he is humble enough to listen to God first and scholarship second, he will do great things for the Lord.
The one word, above all others that was repeated in the imperative was, "humility." To the young full of zeal, humility is often seen as admitting you're wrong and amending your ways. This is the humility of the student. When the student moves to becoming the master, humility is found in self-limitation. It is to know what you do not know and to wear no pretense. Let us all pray for increase in humility fueled by fear of the Lord.

Also, if the Old Testament books were translated INTO the Septuagint.. what language do these guys believe it was translated from? Spanish? What on earth with these guys..
