Summary: Many who listen to this program are students. And today I want to specifically encourage you. School may be tiresome at times. You may feel like it’s just a means to an end. But I encourage you to take a fresh perspective on school. View school as your calling from God for this season in your life. To learn and to share Jesus Christ with your student friends. In the book of Colossians, St. Paul says, “Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another... And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” So approach school in the name of the Lord Jesus! Work hard. Don’t complain. Arrive early to class. Turn in your assignments on time. Learn everything you can. Soak it up! And as you work hard in school, you will have more opportunities to share your faith with teachers and fellow students. Yes, God is preparing you for a bright future in His Kingdom. But, he wants to start using you right now as a student. You don’t have to finish school before you can make a difference. Be bold right now. And, don’t just “get through” school. Make the most of it for the good of your friends and for the glory of God. Billy Graham one day said, “People may call you a teenager, but God treats you as an adult.”
