Never stop learning (1)

God has created us with the capacity to keep learning until the day we die, which is something we shouldn’t take for granted. The average brain weighs approximately 1.4 kg, yet neurologists tell us we have the ability to learn something new every second of every minute of every hour of every day until the day we die. Awesome, right?

But it’s more than that. It’s an awesome responsibility. Learning isn’t an indulgence; it’s a stewardship matter. Jesus said, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ (Mark 12:30 NLT) It’s impossible to determine what percent of our minds we use, but all of us have untapped potential. Your imagination is capable of considerably more than you can dream. Yet somewhere along the way, most of us stop living out of imagination and start living out of memory. We stop designing the future and start copying the past. And that is the day we cease living and begin dying. Why? Because we stop educating ourselves.

Loving God with all your mind requires maximising your mind by learning as much as possible about as much as possible. Reconcile yourself with the reality that God is not an object of understanding as much as He is a source of wonder. And that sacred sense of wonder ignites a holy curiosity to keep learning more about the Creator and His creation.
