Since the day I was saved I've felt great desire to understand the Bible and theology and help others to understand the Scriptures. Over the years I've consumed the Bible and other Christian literature quite much. I have pretty good grasp of theology and the Bible as an enthusiastic lay person.
Lately I've been pondering if I should really pursue official training in theology and biblical studies. Especially I'm excited to study the Bible in the original languages.
So basically I'm requesting that God would show what is His will in this. Is it academic waste of time hindering my service in the church or is God calling me to academic career? Also I ask that I would get the sensitivity to slow down in my thirst for knowledge and just to sit with the Lord in quietness.
