It's actually in the Bible way more than you would realize.

And that's why when I heard you say that, I thought I'd bring this up.

I'll just give you four that when I Googled.

Proverbs 35, 21, and 25.

Did I say Proverbs?

Psalm 35, 21, 25.

Psalm 40, 15, and 70, verse 3.

But I was going to read one just to let you get a feel for it.

In Psalm 40, 15, it says, may those who say to me, aha, aha, be appalled at their own shame, but may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

May those who love your salvation always say, the Lord be exalted.

I just thought that was funny that we have an aha moment, but that's kind of how it works.

Because I was trying to follow Jesus when you were in your prodigal years, and y'all used to make fun of me mercilessly.

It's the same usage of the phrase, but it's one of mockery.

And then when you're transformed, it's like, aha, a more humble wow.

Look at what I have.

So it's an interesting phrase, but you're going to be persecuted.

You go from the one doing the persecuting to the one being persecuted in that transformation.

Well, that's kind of been the point, I guess, of everything that we've been talking about, having our three kids graduate.

But it became more of a Jesus moment.

for what's next.
