This is Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. I'm so glad that you found us today and whether you're at home or in your car.

We're so glad that you're here and we pray that God will give you hope in times of difficulty.

Rick is taking us through the book of Daniel and that's so we'll be equipped to handle whatever curveball life throws at us, even the most difficult trials.

So let's jump right in for part one of a message called When Your Beliefs are belittled.

Here's Rick.

Today we're in part three of unshakable, thriving, no matter what they throw at you.

And we're looking at nine lessons from the

life of that great character in the Bible, Daniel. You know, starting at about the age of five,

you're going to spend the better part of the next two decades getting an education. And hopefully,

that education will continue learning the rest of your life.

Now, an education is a good thing.

In fact, the Bible has a lot to say about the importance of you getting an education.

The Bible says we're to love God with our minds.

That's in the great commandment.

How do you love God with your mind?

By using it, by developing it, by not wasting it, by educating it. That's one of the ways you

love God with your mind by learning all you can. The Bible's got a lot to say about learning

and education. Let me just show you a couple of verses here on the screen.

The Bible says in Proverbs 19, verse 8, do yourself a favor and learn all you can.

Then remember what you learn and you will prosper.

He says you're doing yourself a favor when you get an education and then remember it and you're going to prosper.

That's another word for success. You want to be successful in life? Get a an education. And then remember it and you're going to prosper. That's another word for success.
