Use your head

So, we have a couple of great kids, the best kids in the world! They are kind and honest and loyal and loving (sometimes) and generous and just great kids. However, they aren't always that into school work and learning. As a matter of fact, they will tell you that they have learned all they need to learn, in third and fourth grade, respectively.

I try to remind them and encourage them that I learn something new every day. Sometimes, it may some little something, and some days it may be something pretty big to be learning. GOD has given us brains and we should use them to their fullest capacities for His honor and glory and in order to do His good and perfect will.

Today's word is Proverbs 16:16, NIV, which reads, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver."

Gold and silver are nice to have: you can buy things with them; they can give you a certain amount of comfort. But, they are easily lost, and the little joy that they bring us are temporary. But, having the ability to comprehend and learn is something that not everyone has, and certainly not everyone uses. When you learn something, that is a deposit into a reserve that no one can ever take.

And, when we use our brains, our intellect to learn more about JESUS, we truly do acquire knowledge like nothing else. So, use that space between your ears that GOD has given you. 

Be Blessed,
