Bible Exhortation
Development Studies requires the ability to understand complex social, economic, political, environmental, and institutional issues.
It requires wisdom, knowledge, discernment, compassion, research ability, analytical thinking, communication, integrity, diligence, and perseverance.
Proverbs 2:6 says:
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
God is the source of wisdom. Therefore, ask Him for understanding when academic concepts seem difficult.
Proverbs 22:29 says:
“Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings…”
Academic breakthrough requires both prayer and diligence.
Isaiah 54:17 declares:
“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper…”
Therefore, stand firmly in faith against fear, discouragement, confusion, failure, and every obstacle that seeks to hinder your legitimate academic and professional progress.
Prophetic Illustration
Nehemiah: Wisdom for Development and Restoration
Nehemiah received a burden concerning the condition of Jerusalem and was given wisdom to organize people, assess problems, mobilize resources, overcome opposition, and rebuild what had been broken.
His assignment required planning, leadership, communication, administration, resilience, strategic thinking, and perseverance.
This provides a powerful illustration for Development Studies students.
Your education can prepare you to understand development challenges and contribute to legitimate solutions involving communities, institutions, governance, policy, sustainability, humanitarian work, research, and social development.
Therefore, pray for Nehemiah-like wisdom: wisdom to identify problems, courage to pursue solutions, discernment to handle opposition, and discipline to complete your assignments successfully.
