HIS WORD IS ETERNAL
Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.” Psalm 119:89, NIV If there’s one habit worth building into your daily rhythm, it’s spending time in God’s Word. As educators, our days are often full before the first bell even rings. But carving out intentional time for Scripture, whether it’s waking up 15 […]
OBSTINATE
But I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went […]
LORD, MAKE ME BETTER, NOT BITTER
You have heard that it was said, “Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.” But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as […]
PUTTING THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ON DISPLAY
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22–23, NIV “How can you be so calm at a time like this?” “I’m shocked at how patient you are with her—she was so frustrating to teach.” “Why don’t his […]
POWERFUL PRAYERS
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16, NIV Have you ever hesitated to pray because you didn’t know what to say? Maybe you’ve thought, I don’t have the right words or I’m not good at praying like other people. If so, I want to share some good news with you: […]

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how […]
LESS IS MORE
He must become greater; I must become less. John 3:30, NIV Throughout Scripture, we see a pattern—doing less often leads to greater victory when God is in control. Joshua could have stormed Jericho with force, but God had a different plan: march, blow trumpets, and shout. No siege ramps, no battle, just obedience. The walls […]
OUR HOPE
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in this holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Psalms 33:20-22, NIV Do you ever feel a little hopeless? With everything happening […]
YOU ARE THE MIRACLE
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. 2 Corinthians 5:20, NIV We all know Aslan. Many of us know Screwtape. But I bet only a few of us know Ransom. One of C.S. Lewis’ lesser-known works is his Space Trilogy, and the least known of the three books […]
ATTENTIVE
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. Psalm 40:1, NIV Sometimes we pray for something for a long time, and it seems like God is not listening. But He is always listening to us. He knows our requests before we even ask. Waiting is not a practice that […]
