In the School of God
In the School of God
“1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” Jn 3:1-2 KJV
In the School of God—
There are no failures.
Perseverance is essential,
Until each over-comer matures.
When we fall and ask forgiveness,
He hears us from on high;
Tells us, “Keep going—
On My power rely!”
In the School of God—
There’s only one text-book.
Prayer is essential—
Regardless of how things look.
We must trust the Teacher,
We fail to see with our eyes;
Have faith in each outcome;
Accept all miracles without surprise!
God’s School has ten rules,
But each rule is important;
The first four for the Principal;
The last six for fellow students.
God’s rule book is simple—
Based on His love;
Provides us great freedom;
Designed from above.
When God’s School rules are broken,
He freely forgives;
There’s no cane or “naughty corner”;
Love and mercy, He gives.
He’s provided the Holy Spirit—
To enable our obedience.
His love’s placed in our hearts
And our minds for expedience.
In the School of God—
There are trials and tests,
But He tells us to surrender them—
Then He’ll sort out what’s best.
The school work is constant,
But becomes a delight;
No greater joy and pleasure
Than to shed God’s “love-light”.
In the School of God—
Pupils aren’t expelled;
No-one fails graduation,
Unless by flesh they’re compelled.
All have a choice—
To ask for help or to leave.
Love and freedom are the keys—
By the Principal conceived.
Prayer: Thank you, God, for the privilege of being a pupil in the School of God and for my text-book (the Holy Bible), as well as the power of your Holy Spirit to enable me to overcome sin and its temptations. Thank you so much for your rules of love that make my life a joy, even in a world full of sin. A-men
