Every year seems the same. Summer’s

lazy days end and the academic year

begins. As we plunge into learning new

material, we find that the lessons seem

harder than the years before, and our

lives, more complicated. Some of us

decide the extra effort is not worth all

the early mornings, busy days, and late

nights. However, others of us look be­

yond our present struggles to the fu­

ture where we see ourselves accepting

a diploma. No one promised that get­

ting to that point would be easy.

Sometimes, we lose hope and just want

to quit. But God has given us encour­

agement from His Word to help us per­

severe. Isaiah 26:3 states “Thou wilt

keep him in perfect peace, whose mind

is stayed on thee: because he trusteth

in thee.” This verse tells us that all we

have to do is keep our minds set on

Christ alone and trust in His Word. He

will give us the peace and strength to

get through our classes and succeed.
