Scripture: 1st Corinthians 4:1 (the Message)
Don’t imagine us leaders to be something we aren’t. We are servants of Christ, not his masters. We are guides into God’s most sublime secrets, not security guards posted to protect them
Thought for the Day: There have been so many amazing teachers, mentors and guides along my life journey. Many of them were incredibly smart folks, but those who had the greatest impact upon my life had other gifts and insights as well. The great ones didn’t try to cram information into my brain. Instead, they awakened me to a hunger for knowledge I hadn’t realized was there. As Socrates put it, “Education is not the filling of a vessel, but the kindling of a flame.” Those who inspire and ignite a desire to learn are those who have unleashed upon the world its greatest hope for the future.
Prayer: I pray, O Lord, for all those who will assist in the care and education of our children and youth. May all who work in our schools see themselves as agents of your encouragement and motivation, guiding young minds toward their potential. Amen.
