I smile at the way God throws out
His credentials. I am your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. I am the Lord your
God. Pretty impressive, right? It’s sad that God even needs to shake us awake and remind us of
who He is.

Like every teacher, God wants you to
succeed. He nurtures, challenges, and corrects in order to direct you toward
your best life – your full potential. He’s a teacher who loves each student and
prepares an individualized lesson plan. He even stays after hours for special
help.

Becoming one of His students through
Bible study, prayer and discussion changed my life. Does that sound cliché? Perhaps,
but it is true in the deepest way. I am grateful for His wisdom and seek out
His instruction. I am humbled by His sacrifice and blessed that He calls me by
name. It’s the best thing I ever did. My hearts swells just sharing these words
with you.
