What Seek Ye in 2023?

Yep, I had to rewrite the year in the title. Of course I did.

So here we are on the first Sunday, the first day of 2023, and I went to Sunday school. Those who know me also know that the easiest way to get me to go to Sunday school is to make me teach. No, I didn’t teach, but I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that we actually talked about the actual topic of the lesson.

The title of this week’s lesson is a personal mantra of mine. “We Are Responsible for Our Own Learning.” And how can we be responsible for our own learning if not by setting goals for ourselves? Realizing what we want to achieve, what our goal is with learning will determine how we approach our learning. By answering to ourselves the question in the title, we can easily determine our course.

Or so we think. We ight have a goal we want to achieve. We might know what we seek, what we are searching for in our scripture study, but then happen upon something completely different. Something we didn’t expect or didn’t want, but something we need. It is the wonder of the journey, and as we follow along we will receive the blessings we really need, but only if we put the work into it. It is our own responsibility, and our own opportunity. Let’s use it.
