Our students are growing, developing, and changing everyday. The world in which we live is changing. Our students must be prepared in order to take their
Joshua place in God's world. Every time we prepare a lesson, stand before a class, grade a test, participate in a conference, attend an after school activity, counsel a student; we do it for the leaders who are in "the making." When God's timing is perfect, they will take their rightful place as a
Joshua.
In the midst of all that changes-seasons, leaders, circumstances, the One True and Living God remains changeless. Let's pause and thank the LORD for using us in grooming our students to be what He has created them to be. Let's look to Him and commit our
Joshuas and the changes to Him.
Prayer Focus
Dear Lord, we hear Your voice saying, "I am The Lord and I change not". (Malachi 3:6) "I am the same yesterday, today, and forever". (Hebrews 13:8). Thank you, Father for your unchanging hand in the midst of so many changes. Lord, as our students develop into leaders, may we see their potential. Help us to see them through Your eyes. Give us vision today to get a glimpse of what they shall be tomorrow. Thank you, LORD for our role in their development. in JESUS name-AMEN.
