“It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you;” -Deuteronomy 31:8
Today in History we talked about God calling Abram out of Ur and into an unknown land. What if God asked you to go through something scary? After discussing the various ways that God can speak to us, I was asked the question, “What’s something God told you recently? And how’d you know it was God?” Caught off guard for a moment, I knew exactly the sentence this student was referring to.
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” Galatians 2:20
We can all think back to our teenage years and have many different experiences and memories. Some are good, and many are…awkward.
“While you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” -Acts 4:30
Pray for miracles.
Ever since I was little, the Bible stories with miracles fascinated me. I still remember my Beginners Bible with colorful illustrations that allowed me to picture these stories in my head. I remember Mom and Dad reading the stories to me each night before bed, and me always wondering, “How does He do those things?”
Exodus 33:14 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
It’s a Friday morning. After a restful eight hours of sleep last night, I’ve had a relaxing morning reading some scripture, sipping coffee, and going through my last box of books for my classroom next year. I’ve had 23 days of summer break and it has been so enjoyable. I didn’t realize how tired I had become after my first year of teaching until the first week of vacation. I was exhausted, but could not have asked for a better, more rewarding year.
Have you ever been asked the question, what do you want to be doing in five years? I certainly have, and to be honest I have always found that question to be difficult to answer. Somehow the response “working a good job” sounds too vague and yet other responses such as “running my own business” seem too scary.
But what if we framed that question differently. Instead of what do you want to be doing in five years, what if we asked who do you want to be in five years?
