Listen to the words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:11, "Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. I know how to be abased and I know how to abound everywhere. And in all things I've learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Most certainly the classrooms of Paul's life are not courses for which any of us would easily sign up: beaten, betrayed, abandoned, shipwrecked, disregarded, accused, imprisoned, ignored, and burdened. What in the world could come from this? Well, actually in the world-nothing. But in the Spirit, comes the experience of knowing that in Christ I can endure all things. The diploma will give you a voice that years after you are gone, people will still remember. It's time to pray.
