Try To Learn Something Every Day - All The Word for Today Daily Devotionals for 2025

‘Knowledge will fill you with joy.' Proverbs 2:10 NLT

One Friday morning an eager young Stanford University student stood before Louis Janin, a well-known mining engineer. He was seeking employment. Janin informed him, ‘All I need right now is a stenographer.'

The young man said eagerly, ‘Fine, I'll take the job.' Then he added, ‘But I can't come back until Tuesday.'

Janin agreed, and the next Tuesday the young man reported for work as scheduled. Janin asked him, ‘Why is it that you couldn't come back before Tuesday?'

The young man replied, ‘Because I had to rent a typewriter and learn how to use it.'

The young typist was Herbert Hoover, whose can-do attitude eventually led him through the doors of the White House to become one of America's presidents. By taking shortcuts—you risk short-changing your future. Your unwillingness to learn today will leave you unprepared for tomorrow's opportunities. No skill you learn will ever be lost. Gleaning knowledge and learning new skills builds confidence and sharpens your mind. Successful people have one thing in common: they never quit learning! Furthermore, God calls prepared people, so prepare yourself.

The Bible says: ‘Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy.' (Proverbs 2:2-10 NLT)
