They have Been with Jesus

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 ESV

The disciples of Jesus were mostly uneducated fishermen, but later people lined up in the streets wanting even the shadow of Peter to fall on them (Acts 5:15). There is certainly nothing wrong with an education, but if turns you away from God, then you would be better off without it. There is a wisdom available that is greater than what man can teach you, and it is gained by spending time with Jesus.

I grew up in the country, on a farm, but learned computer programming by prayer and practice, without books. It was something that I really wanted to do. Anytime that I have ever been stumped, spending some time in prayer reveals the way to fix it. Suddenly I know what the problem is. You can call it inspiration, coincidence, or my imagination. All I know is, I have a problem that I don't know how to fix, I pray about it, and soon I do.

Don't be discouraged if you want to do something, however impossible it may seem. If you have a strong desire for it, and you know that it is what you want to do with your life, take it to the Lord in prayer. He has the answer and can make it happen. Spending time with Jesus will make you smart.

Prayer: Father, please anoint me and reveal the gifts that You have placed in my life. Guide me into the place that I am supposed to be, in the name of Jesus.
