Where is God in my studies???

Are you always putting pressure on your academic results and spending most of your time achieving them? Or are you having the “heck care” attitude in your studies and would rather spend your time on your hobbies?

Being too absorbed in your studies is not all you should be focusing on. Romans 9:32 says this about being too busy: “They [Israelites] were so absorbed with their ‘God projects’ that they didn’t notice God right in front of them, like a huge rock in the middle of the road” (The Message). These people had good motives, but they missed the whole picture – that is, seeking God in all they do.

What about those of us who have been neglecting our schoolwork? Do we have difficulty in studying? We can depend on God who will help us in everything we do, by making the yoke light. “Take my yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you shall find rest for your souls” (Matt 11:29; NIV). God has instructed us to exercise the gifts and talents He has given to us, and do our best at school out of love and devotion to God. So keep this in mind – God is with us in everything we do, so trust Him to guide and lead us according to His will.

Keep growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:18
