I quote:
The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.
The law of the LORD is perfect,
refreshing the soul;
the decree of the LORD is trustworthy,
giving wisdom to the simple.

Today's readings invite us to believe that our education is a daily experience, wont to encourage us to trust the advice entering our conscious awareness, inviting us to depend on the inspiration supplied by Our Father.
I know, that I know nothing – reveals our humility opening a door into an awareness, that our education is ongoing until we draw our last breath.
From the perspective of the humble person any knowledge, or information that is accumulated is ones daily preparation for more learning, imposed on each of us walking the road of hard knocks. No exceptions, even for those brilliant academics, equipped with their university diploma demonstrating their skills educating their students.
Wisdom is not a product of schooling, but of a lifelong attempt to acquire it. ~ Albert Einstein
Over the centuries wise sages inform us that when we think we know, we cease to learn that which offers the awareness, that a simple response to life's challenges provides the remedies opening the road block that had stalled our passage into our future.
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...' ~ Isaac Asimov
How often have I had my eyes opened by an unexpected turn of events, leading me to move in a direction that I had previously failed to see. Isaac Asimov's writings are entertaining, and educational obliging me to think beyond the predictable view offered by the human senses. Asimov was not a theist nevertheless understood that each of us will face moments when a particular event, or incident presents its lesson obliging us to think, and act in response to its coaching tutorial appearing in our life...out of the blue..so to speak.
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”― Isaac Asimov
