Listen...

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8

The same message echoed throughout every teacher's room and hallway at school---

"Let me tell you..."
"This is what i expect..."
"Listen carefully..."

Students got clear, precise instructions on day one, clarifying rules and expectations for the year.  Such as,

1.  Pay attention; listen when the teacher is talking.

2.  Be prepared; read your lessons.

3.  Do your work daily.

4.  If you need help, ask the teacher.

By consistently following these expectations, students will reap the benefits of success and satisfaction during the school year.

We, also, are students, under the watchful, loving eyes of the greatest Teacher of all -- our Father. May we listen to Him, read His Word, do as He instructs, and pray... in times of need and praise.  Let us rest in the fact He has the desire and ability to equip us for success, satisfaction and peace for our year ahead too.

friend, we are loved and chosen by God,
