God uses the workplace to strengthen our character and give us opportunities to reflect the love of Christ to others. During the process, God helps us out by giving us wisdom which “straightens our paths.” The Lord wants us to work smarter, and delivers some wisdom through King Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes about continuing forward education.

Ecclesiastes 10:10
If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened,
more strength is needed but skill will bring success.

Education isn’t a one-shot deal - college, grad school, doctorate, or whatever, and we’re done. Like the axe, we are in use daily. If we are not growing in our profession, we are shrinking.
