I am thinking of someone no longer with us today.  Consider the question of which is justified in the eyes of the Lord.  Is it the one who had such a privileged life that he was able to attend university and become a very learned theologian, well published and much honored, to such an elevation that he distained others less intellectual than himself, and could hardly keep himself from ridiculing their very ignorant beliefs.  OR the woman who grew up in poor circumstances, who devoted her entire life to her husband and children and grandchildren, but who devoted herself at the same time to studying and pondering God’s Word on her own, to pray, to subject herself to whatever godly influences she could find to mentor her, and died with no one knowing her name, having rarely suffered anything but scorn.  Her legacy was that her beliefs were much ridiculed by the Learned Men of the University of Theological Majesties.  Which one of the two was actually more wise, more of a servant’s heart, more of a disciple, or more like the Master? Which one gave the Widow’s mite? Which one received a “Well done my faithful servant?”, the Learned One, or the “foolish one”? Which one pleased Him more? Iz
