Isaiah 28:13: The Lord is going to teach you letter by letter, line by line, lesson by lesson
As teachers, our days are broken into segments; careful -- and sometimes painful -- effort is put into making sure that each class, each subject, has its place in the week. Then we spend more time and effort writing out plans to be sure that we teach what the students need to know. We go to work each day armed with these lesson plans, ready to teach "lesson by lesson". To often, however, we are faced with the fact that not all children can learn lesson by lesson. Some have to be taught line by line and some have to be taught letter by letter.
Suddenly, our carefully planned time and lessons can't be followed and we become irritated at -- perhaps even resentful of --those who are making our job even more difficult. At these times, Lord, help us to remember that teaching isn't about lessons, it's about learning. Grant us the strength and patience to deal with those of your children who need to be taught line by line and letter by letter.
