1 Timothy 4:10
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

It’s all about training in godliness. According to Paul, godliness has value not just for this life, but also for the life to come. Now, it doesn’t earn us heaven, but it does help make us more like Jesus. And even though it isn’t easy, we choose to keep growing, learning, and pursuing godliness because ultimately, our hope is in Him.

Matthew 9:13
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.

Jesus wanted to give the Pharisees something to chew on. These religious men knew the rules, but they were missing the heart of God. So, He reminded the ultimate rule-followers that God wasn’t impressed by their religious activity if their hearts weren’t reflecting His mercy.

Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.

Once we’re completely done with school, that doesn’t mean we stop learning. There’s still plenty God wants to teach us about how to live in this world and how to do what is right. And He gives us some pretty clear things to focus on.

Deuteronomy 31:12
Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law.

When the Israelites were in Egypt, Pharaoh was a cruel and oppressive ruler. Then God delivered them. Which meant they needed to learn what it meant to trust and follow their covenant making God. And it started with bringing them together to hear His Word, learn His ways, and understand what He expected of them.

Psalm 119:73
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.

As a child, you go to school because you weren’t born knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. There’s a lot we have to learn as we grow. And the same is true spiritually. God made each one of us, but we still need to grow in wisdom and understanding. And one of the ways God gives us that understanding is through His Word.

Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

As school starts back up, it’s important to practice the things you’re learning. When you do, you’ll notice your times tables, the periodic table, and important dates in history start to stick in your brain. It’s the same with practicing what you’ve learned about God. The more you live it out and practice what’s been preached to you, the more those truths become part of how you live every day.

Matthew 7:24
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Have you ever bought a bookshelf or a piece of furniture that came in a box? You dump out all the pieces, look at the pile of screws, and then reach for the instruction manual. Why? Because the person who designed it knows how it’s supposed to go together. God has given us instructions too! His Word isn’t meant to take the fun out of life; it’s meant to show us how life was designed to be lived. So, take the time and open it today!

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

David wasn’t a perfect man. In fact, Scripture records some of his greatest failures. Yet he was called a man after God’s own heart because he continually turned back to the Lord in faith. When you read Psalms, you can hear David’s desire for his heart and mind to honor the One who created him. And that’s a prayer worth making every day.

Job 23:12
I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my portion of food.

Job had incredible wealth. He owned livestock, land, and possessions beyond what most people could imagine. Yet when he spoke about what he treasured most, even at his lowest point, it wasn’t his riches. It was God’s Word.

John 15:7
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

What feels most like home to you? Maybe it’s everyone gathered around the table sharing a meal. Maybe it’s snuggling on the couch with one of your kids or sitting on the porch talking with your parents. That’s the kind of relationship Jesus invites us into. He’s calling us to stay close to Him and to let His Word find its home in our hearts.

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

When kids are little, parents spend a lot of time explaining things, especially when something scary is happening. Jesus did something similar with His disciples. As He prepared them for the difficult days ahead, He didn’t reveal everything that would happen. But He did give them something they could trust completely: His Word.

Isaiah 40:28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Flowers bloom and fade; people are born and eventually pass away. But God is different. He has always existed and always will. He is the Everlasting God—the One who depends on nothing outside of Himself to sustain Him. He never grows weary, never changes, and is completely worthy of our worship.
