Running After a Mirage!

Why should fools have money
for an education
when they refuse to learn?

Proverbs 17:16

Going to school does not mean that you will receive an education. Learning must be supported by an attitude of willingness. In fact, the educated man is not the one who has memorized a lot of factual information. The educated man is the one who knows how to wisely use that information. Foolishness and real education are not compatible.

A major flaw in the western world education system is that we are providing money for an education for people who refuse to learn. It would be like buying airplane tickets for people who refuse to fly.

My grandmother always said that some men with doctor's degrees were simply educated fools! Education without wisdom always produces pride, but never righteousness.

So how do you add wisdom to your education? The answer is simple and profound at the same time. Like a filter removes the impurities from polluted water, when you filter your education through the Word of God the truth comes through and the lies are removed.

Unless you do that you will be like a thirsty man in a burning desert running after a mirage. It looks like water, but never quenches your thirst.
