I hope you achieve two things in your career as a student. First, learn stuff. You're probably a smart kid, but there's a ton of stuff you don't know about the world around you. Taking school seriously and doing the hard work is the best way to learn a lot of the stuff you'll need to get where you want to go in life. Learn stuff.
Second, I hope you find wisdom. Wisdom is knowing how to use all the stuff you learn. For example, you might learn how to do CPR and save a life. Wisdom helps you know who needs CPR so that you're not trying to save someone who isn't dying (that could be awkward).
This translates easily to your spiritual life too, by the way. There's lots of stuff we need to learn about God. And He wants to give us wisdom so that we know how to use all the stuff we learn about Him (James 1:5). If learning about math matters, learning about God REALLY matters!
- Think about it: are you making the effort to learn the stuff you need to know from school and about God?
- Pray and ask God to give you more and more wisdom as you learn more stuff about life and Him.
Pastor Dave
