Summer has come and gone and another school year has begun.  The onset of fall and winter are upon us.  The demanding schedules of the school year often wear us down and we simply think we do not have time for the Church.  This is a lie!  Do not fall for it.  Sure, secular education is important but not so important that we neglect the great salvation God has given to us through His son Jesus. We should all strive to not let this happen in our life.  
  
  

Proverbs 4 tells us "give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.  21.  Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart;  22.  For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.  23.  Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life."  
  

We are told in Deuteronomy 6:5.  "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.  6.  "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart;  7.  "you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.  8.  "You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  9.  "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.  
  

As the pressures and responsibilities of school build, keep your heart turned toward God and lean not on your own understanding remember His words and He will make your paths straight.  
  

May this school year be the best one ever because you have followed the teachings of God Almighty  
  

As Moses said to Aaron, these things I also pray for you that "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.'' ' "So they shall put My name on the children of the nation, and I will bless them.''  
  

Psalms 33:12  Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, And the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance.  
  

God be with you!
