Reading – Proverbs 2

Highlight Verses:

”Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.“
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I went to college twice.

The first time, I went to UC Santa Cruz for 3 years (until money ran out and I had a full-time job offer).

In my thirties, I went to LIFE Bible College East for a year and a half (until my eldest daughter was born and the 100-hour work weeks became non doable).

Each time I learned a lot.

I learned many lessons that I still use today from each.

But I got so much more from Bible College.

More wisdom.

More real-life practical knowledge.

More satisfaction.

Even more fun.

I’m not saying one should never go to University. I don’t regret going to UCSC. If anything, I regret not finishing an education degree back then.

But many reject Bible College because they think it would be too religious or they don’t want to go into full-time ministry.

I never went into full-time ministry and I’m not sure I would have if I had completed my degree.

But what I learned there helped me tremendously in volunteer ministry and in life in general.

And I did it as an adult.

All this is to say, if you’re thirsty for more wisdom, consider a good Bible college, even as an older adult.

You may be pleasantly surprised how awesome it is!

How much wisdom have you gotten from your education?
Have you learned more from formal education or from life?
