Today is World Teachers Day. In the US, we have Teacher Appreciation Days, but internationally October 5th is it (though it’s a bit funny it’s on a Saturday when you don’t have school). Think about how much your teacher helps you. Even if you aren’t totally into school, I’m guessing you have a teacher who pushes you to be better, and who is looking out for you.

You have a lot of teachers besides school. Do you have a coach? Someone you take music lessons with? A tutor? Boy or Girl Scout leader? Maybe a friend’s parent? There are a lot of ways you are taught. Jesus was called a teacher while he was on earth by his disciples. Remember that Jesus is the ultimate teacher, and his teachings were giving us the keys to salvation.

²⁴ “Whoever hears these teachings of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock. ²⁵ It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. But it did not fall because it was built on rock.
²⁶ “Whoever hears these teachings of mine and does not obey them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. ²⁷ It rained hard, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house. And it fell with a loud crash.”
²⁸ When Jesus finished speaking, the people were amazed at his teaching. ²⁹ He did not teach like their teachers of the law. He taught like someone who has authority.

Matthew 7:24-29 (ERV)

Dear Jesus, thank you for your teachings, thank you for giving me your words to learn from. Help me to have a good attitude towards learning each day. Amen.
