Reflection
In James 3:1, "masters" means teachers. Scripture takes teaching seriously because teachers shape lives. Yet the same Bible promises that patient sowing brings a harvest "in due season." Much of a teacher's fruit ripens long after the school year ends.
🙏 A Prayer About Teachers
Lord, thank You for the teachers who shaped me. Give every teacher patience, wisdom and strength. When they feel unseen, remind them they work for You, and let them see fruit from the seeds they sow. Amen.
