No, it's only August. But we all know what August means. It's a mere prefix to September. And September brings with it different things to different people. To educators and anyone affiliated with a school, it means gearing up for another class or the responsibilities of running an office, and kids, and parents...and the list goes on. Our "free time" or that so-called 3 month vacation we all get as teachers, is about to come to a halt. (Don't you wish it really was 3 months long?)
The good news is the Lord didn't take a vacation nor does He need to gear up for your new semester. He's ready to lift you, guide you, and when needed (and needed He will be) He will sustain you. His power is perfect, his love unconditional, and his mercies are endless. Use his strength as you gear up and turn your thoughts towards September. Allow his truths to guide your thoughts and keep your focus on Him. Your burden will be too heavy no matter how excited and motivated you are. Give it to the Lord. He knows your tomorrow and He's ready for you. Be blessed by the Lord and highly favored.
I hope these words and words to follow will help you keep your direction clear and your burdens light. 1Chronicles 16:11 says, "Look to the Lord and his strength. Seek his face always." Tuck these words away and visit them September 4th. It can't hurt!
