Learn As You Travel

“Do the best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
Scripture Focus: 2 Timothy 2:14-19

Many colleges offer academic credit to students who combine travel abroad and learning. But even travel close to home can open up vistas of learning. College credit may not be in the picture, but personal growth surely is. When I travel I like to learn as much as I can about my destination and the places along the route. On a trip through Wyoming, I learned how difficult pioneer travel was along the Oregon Trail. A trip to Roswell, Georgia uncovered the fact that Dr. Francis Goulding, an author of children’s books, invented the sewing machine there.

As we go through life we should never stop learning. We may not gain academic credit for studying the Bible, but we will gain God’s approval and guidance for our steps. Why not read a chapter of the Bible every day? Research what it teaches about God, you, and others. Learn how you should relate to God and others. Govern your life by biblical principles and you will travel through life wisely and happily.

Insight: We can read the Bible daily for decades and never exhaust its treasures. No one can know it too well nor love it too dearly.
