Prayer: Father, Thank You that You are the Great Protector. Teach me to be like You as I seek to protect my students as You would. I ask that You would give me Your eyes and Your hands today. Amen
Scripture: Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:10 NIV
Educators are protectors. We would not allow any evil to harm our students whether it comes from bullying or outside forces. To the best of our ability, we will protect and defend our students from harm. The Lord provides that protection for us. As we learn to love Him more each day, we understand how to hate evil. Darkness has no place in the public schools and only His light can truly invade the darkness. You have been placed in your school as an agent of light to shine His love and by it, protect your students. Go to Him first when you need to be the protector.
Quote for the Day: For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world yet loses his own soul? (Luke 9:25)
