The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord;--Psalm 24:1, HCSB

Years ago, I was a full-time elementary teacher at a public school. There had been many struggles, and I wondered if I should start teaching in Christian schools. I was gazing at pictures of waterfalls, to soothe my soul, because waterfalls and rivers always remind me of the everlasting Spirit of God. 

They're ALL Christian schools! the Holy Spirit responded immediately in my heart. 

"Oh, Yes Sir"! I responded out loud. "Right!"

I shut my mind down, 'cause it was immediately trying to figure out how this was going to be. 

Praise the LORD, God is God, and He knows all things, and is always working to bring about His perfect will in this earth.

The problem is that He is so patient, and has to work with the free will of people, to influence their hearts to bring them into agreement with His will; which is always what is best for everyone, for God is Love (I John 4:8). 

Another point is that (Jesus in us) we are the lights in this world! 

Just like I'd stated (complained?) for about two decades that "We need more good Christian teachers in the schools!"--and God revealed to me that I was one of those, and led me to enter a teaching program while in my 40s--He has also revealed to me that, even though I'd considered applying to be an online tutor for a blatantly Christian company, He needs me to stay with the company I'm with, where I can take His light into the many individual households and also the public schools in which His Spirit goes through me virtually. 

Got it!

Once again, we true Believers are the lights in this world. 

Where there is darkness (no belief in nor adherence to the ways of God), there is no light, but where the Light (of the Truth of Jesus Christ through His Word) is, the darkness cannot be! 

He is with us always, inspiring us to partner with Him to turn defeated darkness into the true Light of the Good News of Christ, expressed by Him in innumerable and creative ways--and all the more as The Day approaches, amen!

Ultimately, the LORD is faithful, and the USA and its government belongs to Him! He is being faithful to answer the prayers of us His people, to turn this nation and its national, state, city, county, and school board governments around!

Let us continue to pray and know that, when we pray in His will for Him to restore righteousness to our governement and school systems, He hears and will answer! (I John 5:14-15) Hallelujah!

The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the Lord;--Psalm 24:1, HCSB

Go for it. God is with you, and He will help you! 

⁷ For the Lord God helps Me; therefore have I not been ashamed or confounded. Therefore have I set My face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame.--Isaiah 50:7, AMPC

Because of this, brethren, be all the more solicitous and eager to make sure (to ratify, to strengthen, to make steadfast) your calling and election; for if you do this, you will never stumble or fall.--2 Peter 1:10, AMPC
