When praying over our schooling decisions for the upcoming year, it struck me that *where* our children do school is not nearly as important as *how* they do their school. Wanting to instill the ideal of doing our best and letting God handle the rest – no matter what our path may be – we chose this verse for the upcoming school year: “Commit your way to the Lord, trust in Him, and He will act.” Psalm 37:5
Our previous Bible verses of the year:
2022/2023: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” {to encourage a spirit of love for God and one another}
2021/2022: “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 {to encourage my boys in seeking out what it is God has prepared for them to do}
2020/2021: “For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 {courage in the time of a pandemic}
2019/2020: “Be on guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” Corinthians 16:13
2018/2019: “Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” Philippians 4:8 {starting point for our Morning Time selections}
