Silas
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing your desire to continue your studies and complete your diploma in Aeronautical Engineering. It is a good thing to bring this before the Lord and to trust Him for the way forward to module two and then module three and for those exams in July.
Scripture gives a strong assurance that God finishes what He begins. When a person trusts in Jesus Christ, God gives the Holy Spirit as a deposit and a guarantee that He will complete the work of redemption He has started. He does not leave His work unfinished. That same faithfulness applies to every area of your life. As you seek to walk with Him, you can trust that He sees this practical need and will provide as it serves His purpose for you. Pray that His will be done and that He will open the door for you to rejoin college in His timing.
College studies can also challenge your faith intellectually. Courses that deal with philosophy, science, and theories about life can raise questions, even questions about whether God exists. In those moments it is important to stay grounded in the Word of God. God is able to keep His revelation and has preserved it for us today in Scripture. Test everything you hear in lectures and books against what the Bible says, so you are not carried away by ideas that sound impressive but are not true.
You may also find that the college environment itself tests your walk with Christ. Sometimes people expect that a setting where many claim to be Christians will be easier, but it can bring its own pressures and ridicule for standing firm. A secular setting can also bring direct challenges from professors and fellow students. In either place the opportunity is the same, to speak up graciously for Christ and to live faithfully before others. The early church knew this kind of power and success not because of human planning but because the Holy Spirit was guiding their activities. When we try to substitute our own effort for the work of the Spirit, we become foolish, trying to complete in our own strength what began by grace. Your studies are an opportunity to depend on the Spirit daily for wisdom, discipline, and character.
Remember also that true success does not come from clever devices or striving alone. As Jacob learned, it was God who granted him increase and blessing, not his own schemes. In the same way, ask God to grant you diligence in your preparation, clarity of mind, and provision for fees and admission, while resting in the knowledge that He is the one who ultimately establishes your steps.
I will pray with you that God will provide the means for you to continue to module two and then to module three, that He will give you focus and understanding as you prepare to sit for your exams in July, and that He will use your education to shape you for His glory. May He guide you clearly, keep you close to Jesus through His Word and His Spirit, and complete the good work He has begun in you.
