Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.~ Proverbs 16:3
This verse above is my seed for this school-year and life in general. Instead of fretting and worrying about things that are outside of my control, I am giving it all to the Lord. I am making a vow to do what I do for Him and unto Him. Knowing that when I do this the rest will follow. He will make my path straight and sure.
So when I am teaching students or collaborating with colleagues I am do it for His glory. When I am grocery shopping or doing laundry I am doing it for His glory. When I am listening to a friend or welcoming a stranger I am doing it for His glory.
I am taking each day that He gifts me and dedicating it back to Him. This focus keeps me focused on the main thing, walking humbly with Jesus. I will not let the enemy steal my peace or joy. I will be resolute and I will call upon the name of the Lord when I am weak. I will praise Him and have the mindset that honors Him.
This determination to commit whatever I do unto the Lord has allowed me to stay stable and self-correct when sandpaper circumstances arise. Sandpaper smooths the rough edges and allows the shine to come through. It allows the light of Jesus to shine though and I want to be a beacon for the Lord.
Lord, I am yours and I want to do what honors You and brings You glory. Help me to commit whatever I do to You trusting that You will have it flourish into what You have designed for my life. I commit this school -year to You. Bless the children that walk through my door and school. Bless my family and bless my fellow servants. In Jesus name. Amen
