Other kids, depending on education mode, likely didn’t have as much time to devote to it, so statistics on the spelling bee probably skew towards homeschoolers.

Actually, that is not the case...and I speak from personal experience.

The kids at that level (especially of Indian and Asian background) put IMMENSE study into spelling. The have internet study groups set up and prepare hours and hours each day, year round. Some of these kids have been doing that for four years in a row.

Simply put, the homeschoolers do well because most of them honor the Lord and the Lord honors their efforts.

I do not think this kid won the spelling be because the Lord wanted him to.

I do not think the Lord frowns upon public school kids in favor of homeschooled kids.

But kindly start a thread on which kids God’s favor is bestowed upon, and see where that goes.

This assumes all or most homeschoolers are Christians and live their lives in a way that honors God. There is an additional implication that public school students are the opposite. Nothing could be further from the truth. God honors those who give honor to Him, no matter how they are educated.

This young man in his bio openly declares his Christianity and indeed, the Lord may have bestowed his honor upon him. That is not something we, with our human minds, can determine.
