We have a tendency to leap before we look and speak before we think. But we have been created with wonderful minds that need to be trained and educated. Young minds need to be protected until they gain the wisdom and ability to make good decisions.

God is the source of true wisdom and knowledge upon which we can draw (Proverbs 2:6-7). Without the understanding of this great truth, our decisions are often made in a hurry. We need to weigh the words that come to us, and that involves putting them to the test of the truth from God. It takes a mature, trained and educated mind to be able consider a thought that is presented and not necessarily accept it. Never neglect the work it takes to be educated.
