There they had a bit of a skirmish in getting rid of the duties; the excise was, in truth, the everlasting enemy of the patron of The Young Amelia. A customs officer was laid low, and two sailors wounded; Dantes was one of the latter, a ball having touched him in the left shoulder. Dantes was almost glad of this affray, and almost pleased at being wounded, for they were rude lessons which taught him with what eye he could view danger, and with what endurance he could bear suffering. He had contemplated danger with a smile, and when wounded had exclaimed with the great philosopher, “Pain, thou art not an evil.”

Where does wisdom come from?
And … Do we believe our answer?
As professing believers in Jesus Christ our obvious answer is not always the one that rings most true in our lives, i.e. the answer we give in our group Bible study might not match our daily choices in responding to the people around us and the various circumstances of life.
Established behavior and thought patterns often trump our Lord’s instruction.
If we truly bow before our God in reverence, then we will find wisdom at it’s Source.
22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘With our ears we have heard a report of it.’
23 God understands its way, And He knows its place.
24 For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens.
25 When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure,
26 When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt,
27 Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out.
28 And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.”
