"Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us and establish the work of our hands..." Psalm 90:17


DOCUMENTS you'll need this week (uploaded to the Google Drive)

BIBLE/VIRTUES: Our classroom virtue this month is perseverance. Jesus himself warned us that in this life, we would have many troubles. He knew that we would face heartache, grief, and pain throughout our time on earth. He also knew that many of his followers would face doubt, fear, and persecution, and so we are often reminded in scripture to persevere through all of the hardships life throws at us. School is an excellent arena for training in perseverance, as we are so often tempted to give up when things become difficult or tiring. The schoolwide virtue is patience, which is always a great one for us to revisit. These two virtues go hand-in-hand. We are called to be patient as we wait for the rewards of our perseverance to come to fruition.

Poetry: Our third-quarter poem is Psalm 139:1-18

Psalm 139:1-18

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.

2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

4 Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.

5 You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”

12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;

the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,

when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;

all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—

when I awake, I am still with you.
