We’ll examine what God remembers and choose NOT to remember. December is the end of 2024 (I can’tContinue reading “Remembering”

Fear is the Beginning
Last time we explored one of the negative sides of fear. Earthly fear is a trap to get us to stop trusting in God. But not all fear is negative. Some fear is not only necessary but actually good. David and Solomon teach us about a fear that is both necessary and good and thatContinue reading “Fear is the Beginning”
The Fear of the Lord
The last few weeks have been very busy for me but I am excited to be back! Hopefully, you were able to follow our reading schedule of being a worker for the Lord. We will revisit the theme later! Since tomorrow starts a new month, we are going to move on to a new theme.Continue reading “The Fear of the Lord”
Spiritual Laborers
For the first half of this month, we’ve examined the importance and value of work. God gave man work, expects man to work, and wants man to benefit from their labor. But as with all things, God uses physical concepts to help us understand spiritual lessons. It is no different from the idea of workContinue reading “Spiritual Laborers”
The Gift from God
If you’re anything like me, when you aren’t busy, you get bored or feel restless. Don’t get me wrong – I do enjoy relaxing but most of my relaxing activities include ‘work.’ I feel more centered and purposeful when I’m actively doing something. I also find that I am much less likely to get intoContinue reading “The Gift from God”
Commit Your Work
So, we’ve established that we all have to work and that when we work we must first consider how work to be to and for the Lord. Solomon gives us a little more insight into our attitude toward work. Commit your work to the Lord, and He will establish your plans. – Proverbs 16:3 (ESV) Solomon isContinue reading “Commit Your Work”
Working for God
Let’s be honest – working is not always easy. Some of us have jobs we don’t enjoy or like. Some of us have bosses that aren’t great. Some of us have tedious jobs while others have hard manual labor jobs. Even those of us who enjoy our jobs and have great bosses still would sometimesContinue reading “Working for God”
I Will Listen to My Teacher
Back in the day, when students needed to remember an important lesson they were instructed to write it repeatedly. Now, sometimes that was a form of punishment – write “I will not disrespect my teacher” 100 times before you can go to recess. Other times it was a method used to help the student remember.Continue reading “I Will Listen to My Teacher”
God’s Instruction
It has been a busy week with the semester’s start, so I’ve been unable to post my daily threads. But like any good teacher, all of last week’s concepts will be reviewed on a bulletin board! Teachers love bulletin boards. They serve as visual reminders of important concepts and prompts for calls to action. Generally,Continue reading “God’s Instruction”
Fall like Rain
Every teacher hopes their lessons fall on attentive ears. You hope students will take what you’ve taught them to heart and apply it to their knowledge and walk of life. Teachers want their lessons to be meaningful and helpful. After all, teachers become teachers to help their students grow, learn, and apply. This was oneContinue reading “Fall like Rain”
