Learning is a lifelong journey. We should never tire of the learning process, and should eagerly take our place in God's classroom. Solomon told his son to listen, to learn, to grow in understanding and wisdom. Where did Solomon learn the advice he gave to his son? From David, his father! The lessons we learn from Scripture, from history, from those around us, and from our circumstances can lead us to a better place in our lives, so that at the end we will be content with the life we have lived. God gives us one chance at this thing called life, and we want to maximize it to His glory. So then learn, grow in understanding, become a worker who doesn't need to be ashamed because you can rightly divide the truth. May the selections from this book help you on your way.
