Pray for Teachers....JOYfully!


Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Be wise enough to listen to Godly teachers who can point the way to genuine JOY in the LORD!

            With school starting back, it’s a great time to pay tribute to teachers.  Most of us have at least one teacher who truly made a difference in our lives. She or he made you feel special.  She encouraged you and made you believe in yourself.  He may have sternly, but with love, redirected you when you were headed down a wrong path.    Good teachers teach much more than facts and material from a book.  They impart wisdom that helps us make better choices along life’s journey.

            One writer eloquently penned this about the greatest teacher of all times:

            “He never taught a lesson in a classroom…He had no tools to work with, no blackboards, maps or charts…He used no subject outlines, kept no records, gave no grades, and His only text was ancient and well-worn….His students were the poor, the lame, the deaf, the blind,, the outcast—and His method was the same for all who came to hear and learn…
             He opened eyes with faith…He opened ears with simple truth, and opened hearts with love, a love born of forgiveness…a gentle man, an humble man, He asked and won no honors, no gold awards of tribute to His expertise and wisdom…and yet the quiet Teacher from the hills of Galilee has fed the needs, fulfilled the hopes and changed the lives of many millions…for what He taught brought heaven to earth and God’s heart to all.”

             Let’s pray for all teachers this new school year…..AND look to Jesus…the teacher of all teachers….for wisdom and JOY!
