Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth.
(2 Timothy 2:15 AMP)
From the time we start school there is one theme that we are taught all throughout our school years, to get good grades we must study. Yes, most of us complain how hard it is to study and how difficult it is to finish an exam on what we have studied.
We finally reach the end of grade twelve and we are now graduating and the next chapter of our learning starts with post – secondary education. Then after all the hard work we leave with a degree, masters, etc.,
Somehow we have the impression that our study life is now over only to become aware that as we go through life we learn from life’s every aspect. First job, marriage, then children.
The continuation of learning from life starts a new phase. Retirement, children’s marriage, and the arrival of grand – children.
It is the same with our walk with God. All through the scripture we are told to study. The ten commandments, proverbs, sermon on the mount and the writings of the apostles, Sometimes we ask how relevant is all these things. We may not see the purpose immediately but somewhere down the path that the things we have learned become useful.
I am in my fifties and I am still learning new things as I study and read. It is like the new day, fresh and vibrant. Each time causing me to forge ahead to study and learn more.
I hope you will continue your studies in the scriptures it will bring about great dividends.
