"Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life."
Proverbs 4:13
This is a good reminder that education is a major reason that we are here on earth, and that we need to learn.
I'm a big fan of education, but I feel certain that God primarily cares about our spiritual education, leaving the choice of schools and careers to us. And there are many ways to educate ourselves beyond schooling. I think the idea here is that we need to keep improving ourselves--growing and stretching and always moving closer to our potential.
Today, let's remember that instruction is life in many ways, and let's turn to God to instruct us, because he is the best teacher. In addition, let's keep education in mind as we go throughout our lives and try to notice the other ways that we have to learn, and the opportunities that are all around us to learn more about ourselves and the things of this earth as well as ways that we can learn and grow spiritually, learning more about God and his plan and purposes, which of course encompass the first category as well.
