I love Psalm 46:1. "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." I am not sure that there is a more comforting thought. God is REAL. God is PRESENT.
I try to instill this in our students whenever I get the chance. There is no greater promise than having faith that God is real and He is alive in us which means that He is present in everything that we do.
When I look at the logo this year for NLSWeek19, my eyes are automatically drawn to that darling little one praying. There is so much in this world that is disheartening and troublesome.
But what we are teaching is so much more important. We are teaching our children that THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE. THERE IS ALWAYS LOVE. THERE IS ALWAYS JOY. THERE IS ALWAYS PEACE. God is the God of all of these things and He is always here for us. When we teach our children to pray, we are confirming that we believe that God is real. That God is present. That God is God and that He hears us always. We have a direct line to His heart.
Please pray for Bethlehem Lutheran School as we celebrate the uniqueness that makes us different and that difference is that Christ is alive in our school. He is Real. He is Present. He is God. Praise Jesus for that Truth.
National Lutheran Schools' Week is March 4th-8th. Stay tuned for more information regarding fun activities and dress up days. We will be kicking off this week with our School Fun Fair and Open House on March 1st from 5:30-8:00 p.m. Join us in celebrating NLSWeek19!
