"I wasted my education on a field I never pursued and it's too late to use it."
How it sounds in your head: You have degrees collecting dust, training that went nowhere, certifications that expired. Other people are using their education and you're just... done. What a waste of time and money.
"For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable."
-- Romans 11:29World's lie that credentials must follow linear career paths or they're worthless.
The diplomas are literally in a box somewhere and you haven't used that knowledge in decades. Starting over at 75 is absurd.
Moses was educated in all the wisdom of Egypt—the Harvard of his day. Then he spent 40 YEARS as a shepherd in the wilderness, education apparently wasted. At age 80, God used EVERY bit of that training to deliver Israel and write the first five books of the Bible.
I REFUSE the lie that education or training can be wasted. IT IS WRITTEN that the gifts and calling of God are IRREVOCABLE. Every skill, every degree, every bit of knowledge is ACTIVE in me now. IT IS WRITTEN that God works all things together for good and I am His workmanship created for good works He prepared beforehand. The BARAK blessing makes me the head and not the tail in wisdom and influence. Divine opportunities are opening NOW.
Your Father doesn't care about expired certifications or unused degrees. He's running toward you with PRESENT ASSIGNMENTS that will use every bit of what you've learned in ways that shock you—because His timing is perfect, not late.
