Proverbs 19:3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin, yet their heart rages against the Lord.
Lord, Thank You for this week and for the knowledge that I am where You need me. Thank You for the reminder of how much I love my job, love working with students. Thank You for the hope I feel for the coming school year.
Proverbs 19:6 Many curry favor with a ruler, and everyone is the friend of one who gives gifts.
Lord, We both know that there can be a lot of favor-currying in this job. Help me stay laser-focused on You this year. Help me remember, through the daily ins and outs of teaching, that with every breath I want to draw closer to You and to shine Your light for others.
Proverbs 19:8 The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the reminder that it’s not about me. It’s about You. Thank You for the students I will be able to work with this year. Help me to be a positive, uplifting influence. Draw me closer. Amen.
Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
Have a blessed day.
