In honor of our oldest daughter‘s last day of high school, I’d like to dedicate this devotional to all of the teachers in our lives. In order to be able to teach others and be an influence to their educational upbringing, there is training involved.
A person can wake up one day and know that teaching is exactly what they want to do with their life. Desire is the first part of execution.
Without having the desire and excitement to want to do something it will be harder to follow through. When you link that desire with training, you will find your purpose.
In order to succeed though you must join your desires and training with God‘s will for your life. Only He can direct you to the job where you will be of the most influence.
When we decide to live to fulfill God‘s will instead of our own, amazing things can happen. The specific jobs where we work and the people we are around is no mistake. God has placed you where you are for a purpose on purpose.
Our jobs are hard and that is why they call it work. But if you allow the light of God and His love to shine through you where you are, it will certainly change your life and the lives of those around you.
As a student we like to think we know more than the teacher sometimes. We are never higher than those who impart wisdom into our lives, but with their help and God’s we can one day attain the same level and pass on the wisdom to others.
We as students will one day become the teachers of the world. Thank you teachers for all you do and all you are. Have you thanked a teacher today or someone who has had an influence in your life?
