As Christians, God should be at the center of our lives, meaning that we should consider
Him in everything we do. Now that you’ll be off to college in a couple of months, let’s
see what the Bible says about furthering your education.
It’s more valuablethan material things. Proverbs 16:16 says that having wisdom and
understanding is better than having silver or gold. Nice and expensive items can be
enjoyable, but there are very few things in life that can never be taken away, will never
go out of style, and that truly make you a better person. An education is one of those
things.
Yes, we all go to college with the intention of getting great jobs and starting successful
careers, but earning a degree offers much more than financial benefits. It enriches your
mind and opens the door to new people, places, and ways of thinking. Don’t focus so
heavily on the monetary perks of obtaining a degree that you overlook the most
significant ones.
Study hard and prove yourself.2Timothy 2:15 tells us that we should study and show God that
we understand truth. This verse refers to knowing God’s word and being able to point
out false teachings and philosophies, but it applies to education as well. As a student,
you should indulge yourself in your work and be the best you can be. Take your classes
seriously by preparing for them and staying a step ahead in your work. Four years can
go by pretty quickly, and when it’s all over, you want to look back knowing that you
gave it your all.
Always put God first. Matthew 6:33 says that above all things in our lives, we should seek
God, and everything else will be provided for us. As important as education is, it should
never come before your relationship with God. When we put Him in front of all of our
concerns and ahead of everything we do, we can trust that He’ll look out for the other
things. As the semester gets going, you’ll quickly realize that college requires hard work
and more of your time. It’s okay to get overwhelmed, but always take time to talk to
God. Encourage yourself with prayer and reading the Bible. From high school to college

and beyond, life is full of times that challenge us and demand us to be at our best.
Never forget that God is near, He’s willing to listen, and He’s able to help.
