Sometimes, the pressure of a threatening
exam, can seem overwhelming. These days, most of the children are stressed with
two words. FINAL EXAM. They are so much stressed that they have forgotten, what
is desserts after a heavy lunch. Leave desserts, many of them have forgotten to
eat, somehow, they want to gulp, history and science. If, someone can make a
juice of chemistry formulas, they would rather be happy. Otherwise, if you ask
them their name, they will give a blank look, or start saying (a +b) =c-b and
so on.
I remember, when I was in school, I used to
think, when am I going to become big, and earn money. I hated to study for
exams. Really stressful days. When, I used to receive question paper, one can
easily see goosebumps on my hands. No one can escape exam, more then children,
the parents are tensed. If we see in a closer aspect, everyone has to face
exam. This life, which we live is a blank paper, given by God to us. You and me,
have been given the time, which starts at our birth, and the time finishes when
our breath stops.
This life, is a school, only difference in
real school, you are taught a lesson and then; you have to write exam. But in
life’s school you have to write the exam, then you get a lesson. “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should
ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be
given to you.” James 1:5
King
Solomon was the wisest king in this world who said in the book of Ecclesiastes
2:15 “Like a fool the wise man too must die”. This learned man, who was so
wise, wrote so many proverbs, searched out for knowledge; and imparted knowledge
to the people, he was serious when he said that true wisdom is realizing how
much we don't know about life. It is only God, who imparts wisdom to us. I, am
not against the exams. Children should study, and increase their wisdom, and
knowledge, pray, well before the exams; but they should not be forced, to
become a doctor, or an engineer, or a CA; as their future lies in God’s hand, He
will decide the plans, for us. The Word of God has the power and wisdom to
change minds, inspire our lives, heal hearts, encourage the wounded souls,
strengthen the faith and hope to go on in our lives. Live a life pleasing to
Him.
He
gave one valuable advice to fear God and keep His commandments for this is the
whole duty of man. God will bring every deed into judgement, including every
hidden thing whether it is good or evil. Eccl 12:13,14
