Let the students point us to the Lord Jesus.

The following selected verses are from various students who have ministered to us by text and notes. Some of the verses we received are just the references and others are references along with the verses quoted. To keep this blog short and to allow us to explore the scriptures for ourselves I am listing below the references that these dear students have sent to us. His word is just like medicine to the heart and soul of my family and mine. Some of the notes and texts will say something like this, “Hey Mr. Redding, check out this verse (or passage).” So I say to those who may be reading this. “Dear loved one, check out these verses.”

Hab. 3:17-19; Ps. 51:1-2; Ps. 115:1; Ps. 136; Ps. 106:1; Ps. 18:28;
Ps. 1:11; Ps. 62: 1-2; Ps. 20; Ps. 144:1-2; Pro. 15:30; Pro. 30:5;
Ps. 10:12; Ps. 119:114; Josh. 1:19; Dan.1-3; 2Ki. 20:5; Jer. 30:17;
Ps. 12:2; Is. 53:5; Jer. 29:11; Rom. 5:5; John 3:16; 1Thes. 5:18;
Ps. 37:39; Rom. 8:37; Phil. 4:4; Rom. 1:16; Heb. 12:2; Heb. 11:1;
Phil. 4:13; James 1:2-4; 2 Cor. 12:7-10

And then one student quoted without giving the reference:

“To live is Christ,
To die is gain.”

These 7th and 8th grade students are preaching to this teacher daily through their notes and when I enter the classroom, their lives and their eyes tell stories of their love for our Lord Jesus and their willingness to wait on Him for His will to be done in any circumstance. We received more messages with words like… “The Lord’s will be done though…” “We are just presenting to Him the problem…” “We thank the Lord…” “Trust in the Lord…” “The Lord knows best…” “The Lord will give wisdom…”
May we follow the example of these students who are so lovingly sharing the Lord Jesus with others including this teacher who is so blessed to know them.
