Sometimes the demands of life consume and stress us out, causing us to become preoccupied. We then tend to lose focus on the eternal good God wants to do through us.<\/p>\n
Perhaps we need a spiritual wakening in our lives. Maybe our own love for the Lord has grown cold. As a result, we lose our spiritual fervor (Rom. 12:11) and teaching the Word becomes little more than a duty.<\/p>\n
Reminders to Help Us Regain Perspective<\/h2>\n
Whatever the reason, we need to regain perspective. Here are some reminders for us as Bible teachers.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Let’s not forget what Jesus can do through us as we invest into our students’ lives. (Eph. 4:11-16)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Let’s pull back the curtain on the big picture, remembering the rippling effect our teaching can have beyond our class. (2 Tim. 2:2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- Let’s remember that what we do is worth the time, effort, and continued diligence. (1 Cor. 15:58; Gal. 6:9; Heb. 6:10)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With a renewed perspective, we can once again approach teaching with a sense of anticipation and joy.<\/p>\n
