The new school term offers an opportunity to renew the mind by gaining knowledge.
We also need to renew our spiritual lives. Spend a few minutes each morning before school (or work) in prayer, asking for help to discern the will of God for that day. Be attentive (listen) to His voice, guiding you toward actions and thoughts that are pleasing to Him. (Romans 12:2) Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect
Die nuwe skool kwartaal bied 'n geleentheid om die verstand op te kikker met nuwe kennis. Ons moet ook ons geestelike lewe opkikker.

Luister na Sy stem, wat jou lei na aksies en gedagtes wat Hom teverede stel. (ROMEINE 12:2) En word nie aan hierdie wêreld gelykvormig nie, maar word verander deur die vernuwing van julle gemoed, sodat julle kan beproef wat die goeie en welgevallige en volmaakte wil van God is
