Dear Young Christian:

While speaking in a school in the Bahamas I noticed a large text hanging in the auditorium; this is what it said:

“I have more understanding than all my teachers:

for Thy testimonies are my meditation”

(Psalm 119:99).

Interesting isn’t it, that the administration of a public school realizes that there is something more important than the learning acquired through the textbooks of men.

What is really going to make us wise, and give us the understanding for living in this world, is to read, meditate on, and obey the Bible. It is God’s guide book for the Christian life. Education is necessary and has its place, and we can, and should do our school studies for the Lord, and to the best of our ability. But don’t forget the most important study of all. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God … rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
