Do you have a favorite teacher that helped you discover your passions and interests? Or perhaps a mentor who has taught you a valuable skill? Maybe you’ve enjoyed poring through books in a local library. Education comes in many forms, and all of them enrich the lives of the learners.
God delights in our learning, and He designed us with the capacity to learn. Proverbs 9:9 says “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.” Through good teaching, we gain wisdom, knowledge, and skill that we can then use to glorify our Creator according to His purposes for us.
So let us show our gratitude to God, by thanking Him for our teachers and mentors, and for a rich and complex universe full of new things to learn. And finally, let us live out our gratitude by using what we learn to serve Him.
