When I was growing up there was no such thing as distance learning or e-learning. It was impossible as personal computing devices had not been invented yet. However, if distance learning had been available, I am sure that I would have loved it. Distance learning is great for us introverts who love to work independently and quickly.
When our youngest son was in middle school, we decided to home school him. He was the perfect candidate for this, as he was self-motivated and loved to work independently. We would give him a week’s worth of assignments on Monday. By Wednesday he had completed all the assignments. Then he could work on other school projects or activities.
God has a home school program that is not distance learning. In fact God’s home school is very hands-on and personal. If you allow Him, He will be your personal instructor in life and all truth. The course objectives are listed, in part, in Proverbs 1:2-5; “To know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in wise dealing, in righteousness, justice, and equity; to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth-let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understand obtain guidance.”
How can we enroll in these classes? First we must have a right relationship with God based on faith in Jesus Christ. Then we must commit our ways unto Him. Finally we must devote ourselves to the teaching He provides. Proverbs 1:7 says it this way, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. ” Sign up today for God’s home school.
