Greetings:
As teachers, we should start every lesson having a plan and seeking to follow it. Why plan? If we don't know where we are going - anywhere will be OK. We have a model in our Heavenly Father. He has a plan and is actively working that plan. We will contemplate God's plan and use it for an encouragement for us to plan our work - and to work our plan.
Gen. 1:28 (NIV) - "God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.'"
I am musing over the truths of God's Word in the factor that He has a plan laid out. Now I am not going to get into the freewill/determinism debate - just some thoughts about His plan.
In Genesis 1 we have the account of the Creation of all things. From nothing (ex nihilio) to what we have today - God thought, spoke and it is. In the verse quoted above, God told Adam and Eve His plan for man. Some call this the technological and cultural mandate that we have as human beings. We are to learn about our world that He has given us, and in turn control it for good and use it wisely. We have often failed in this mandate. But, that doesn't negate His plan.
Starting today, make sure that you have a plan, a viable plan, and seek to use it in your classrooms and with your life.
For Kingdom Education,
Doc
