While this may come as quite a surprise for many of you (it still amazes me), I did very well in school. I have shared with folks before that GOD gave me a brain because He knew I was going to be too lazy to study (or too distracted). I believe He knew He had to do something in order for me not to be a thirty-five year old high school freshman (not that there is anything wrong with that).
I took all advanced courses in high school and was blessed to be inducted into the National Honors Society. I bet they wish they had that to do over. I bring this up because one of my nieces was inducted into the NHS two years ago, and another one yesterday. They are truly amazing young ladies.
While I did really well in school, I find that the older I get, the less intelligent I become. I mean, I am truly as dumb as a bag of hammers, which is insulting and disrespecting hammers. I can do some of the dumbest things and actually believe it was a good decision. I should have applied myself more. I should still be applying myself.
Today's word comes from 1 Corinthians 10:31, NIV, which reads, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of GOD."
What little bit of knowledge and common sense I do have, I pray I use for GOD'S glory. I know without a doubt, I am living proof, that GOD doesn't need the equipped; He equips those whom He calls. It is when I rely on my own limited hammer-headed knowledge that I get myself in trouble. If we will only apply ourselves to doing all for the glory of GOD, He will use us - even the dumb hammers.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
