I was never very good in school. I dropped out at 16 and got my G.E.D. When I was 25, I went back to school to get my bachelor’s degree. Even as an adult, school was challenging. Still, I pushed through and graduated, something that I consider my greatest accomplishment. I can be proud of myself for the effort it took to finish college, but I also need to acknowledge that this was a blessing from God. Like Solomon’s wisdom, my perseverance and determination came from God. It should be obvious to those watching that I know I could not have personally done it without Him. It is good to take joy in our work, our skills, and our gifts, but we need to remember who it all came from and bless the Lord.
