Education can easily become a god in our lives.Ā The Bible cautions us against pride reminding us that “knowledge puffs up.” True wisdom and understanding come from God…and this is why we continually pray for wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 reminds us thatĀ the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.Ā Our education beginsĀ as we fear the Lord and seek his will for our lives.
Job 28:28 states “Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil, that is understanding.”
James 1:5 explains,”If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
As we homeschool our children, and work at giving them a good education, may we remember that He is our teacher and His holy word our beginning of wisdom. ~Anne
