Why You Should Enroll in Wisdom University

Why You Should Enroll in Wisdom University
by: David Murray

Peers vs. Parents

Thirty percent of college students drop out after their first year at school. While the dropout rate slows after that, the total dropout rate is somewhere in the 40–50 percent range. Why so many?The most common reasons are lack of discipline, lack of money, lack of friends, or lack of ability. The primary reason people drop out of Wisdom University is peer pressure—the influence of others in the same social group or age group. This is not limited to the young, but it’s especially influential when we’re young. Such groupthink results in bad decisions, then sin, then stress, then failure, and then dropping out.How do we stay enrolled in Wisdom University, and even graduate with honors? Proverbs 1:8–19 shows us how to overcome peer pressure and successfully persevere in our studies. It starts with prioritizing our parents over our peers.

Parental Instruction Will Prosper You

Your parents love you “Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching” (Prov. 1:8). The reader is addressed as “son” three times, reminding him not only of who brought him into the world, protected him, and provided for him, but also of the loving relationship between him and his parents.Your parents teach you wisdom. By passing on “instruction” and “teaching” (Prov. 1:8), both parents are obeying Deuteronomy 6:6–9, in which God requires the parents to teach their children God’s wisdom.Your parents want you to succeed. “For they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck” (Prov. 1:9). Garlands and pendants were the gold medals of Solomon’s time. Parents are training their children to become champions.Your parents aren’t trying to imprison you. They’re trying to get you ready for freedom.Is it not okay to go along with my peers sometimes?
