i was a hard core atheist back then. i ridiculed the bible because of its "inconsistencies". i thought religious people strayed away from the truth the farthest.
its the complete opposite
i read books like the satanic bible from Aton lavey and the god delusion from Richard Dawkins and thought i knew what the world was.
the devil is clever. i was swayed by his deceptions but in the end god wins. my search for the truth was pure and god showed me the way. i asked Jesus for forgiveness for i saw right through the devils plans.

I started reading Proverbs, the book of wisdom often in middle school. Wisdom is prized as a treasure in its words. When a king in Bible was given permission to ask from anything from God, he asked for wisdom and so God gave it to him and blessed him on top that. So I have always sought and prayed for wisdom and knowledge as a value that God has and I wanted. In seeking the Way, the Truth, and the Life I examined and always looked for the truth. And it has given me an open mind and made me a sound study. And I find myself in good company with those that also are following the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Pray for wisdom and knowledge friends, it is a good prayer.
