Psalms 71:17. O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
I pray very earnestly for you young people, and I beg you to pray for yourselves, that you may have the great privilege of being able to say, with the psalmist, "O God, thou hast taught me from my youth." They make good scholars who go to school early, and keep at school long, and have such a blessed Schoolmaster as the psalmist had: "O God, thou hast taught me." David’s mother taught him much that was good, but it was better still for him to have God as his Teacher. Then, after being a scholar, he became a pupil-teacher. He still went on learning, but he also began to teach: "Hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works." All God’s scholars ought to be pupil-teachers, ever learning more and more from him, and then teaching to others all that they learn.
