Become A Scholar

 
 
Life is like one big class room; You must become a student. Life is going to through tests at you, life is going to surprise you with pop quizzes, life is going to cause you to be silent in the library, life is going to cause you to cheer at the pep rally. There are rules, functions and concepts to be learned and applied. There are theories to be experimented and there is life to be lived.
It does not matter if you were a good student in (actual) school. If doesn’t matter if you dropped out of school. It doesn’t matter if you were top of your class or if you ditched ever class you could. Why don’t these things matter? Because God is always willing to teach you, in your life, with what you need, and supply you enough material and encouragement to keep you growing and stretching.
In order to keep growing and stretching, then you must be learning. When you start to seek God, when you start to seek direction, when you start to seek change in your life, God will create a lesson plan for you. There may be a conference that God is directing you towards because HE knows there is a message for your heart there. There might be a person at your church HE has waiting for you to meet, because that person may hold something special like a connection, a prayer, a reference, a word of encouragement that is just for you. There might be a blog post, a book, a movie, a song on the radio that God is causing you to experience because it has a comforting message that makes you understand your struggles so much better.
You have to become a student in this life, which is another way of saying…pay attention and seek!
God is always there to help and direct you; allow yourself to open up your eyes and heart to the chapters HE wants to cover for today. Become a student today…become a graduate tomorrow.
