7 Bible Verses for Those Returning to School

For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,

and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it. – Ecclesiastes 7:12

We’ve all heard it (we’ve probably all said it): “Am I ever going to use this in real life?” The things we learn in school aren’t always immediately useful. We’ll never even bring up the exact factoid we learned in history class short of appearing on Jeopardy!, but the skills we pick up are stepping stones. Over time, if we learn and choose to protect our knowledge, it can be connected and put to use. This is long-term security that never goes bad.
