Matthew 9:13
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Jesus wanted to give the Pharisees something to chew on. These religious men knew the rules, but they were missing the heart of God. So, He reminded the ultimate rule-followers that God wasn’t impressed by their religious activity if their hearts weren’t reflecting His mercy.

Isaiah 1:17
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.
Once we’re completely done with school, that doesn’t mean we stop learning. There’s still plenty God wants to teach us about how to live in this world and how to do what is right. And He gives us some pretty clear things to focus on.

Deuteronomy 31:12
Assemble the people, men, women, and little ones, and the sojourner within your towns, that they may hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, and be careful to do all the words of this law.
When the Israelites were in Egypt, Pharaoh was a cruel and oppressive ruler. Then God delivered them. Which meant they needed to learn what it meant to trust and follow their covenant making God. And it started with bringing them together to hear His Word, learn His ways, and understand what He expected of them.

Psalm 119:73
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
As a child, you go to school because you weren’t born knowing how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. There’s a lot we have to learn as we grow. And the same is true spiritually. God made each one of us, but we still need to grow in wisdom and understanding. And one of the ways God gives us that understanding is through His Word.

Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
As school starts back up, it’s important to practice the things you’re learning. When you do, you’ll notice your times tables, the periodic table, and important dates in history start to stick in your brain. It’s the same with practicing what you’ve learned about God. The more you live it out and practice what’s been preached to you, the more those truths become part of how you live every day.

Matthew 7:24
Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Have you ever bought a bookshelf or a piece of furniture that came in a box? You dump out all the pieces, look at the pile of screws, and then reach for the instruction manual. Why? Because the person who designed it knows how it’s supposed to go together. God has given us instructions too! His Word isn’t meant to take the fun out of life; it’s meant to show us how life was designed to be lived. So, take the time and open it today!
