It seems that there is always something that calls me back to praying for a certain teacher. You remember that I often wrote about a university teacher last year and how the teacher seemed to use a lot of Christian words and expressions but the teacher’s way of speaking about God-believers always frustrated me? (PS: it is hard to make up sentences without using he or she).

Well I was looking through a book the teacher wrote and gave us as something we had to read during this semester. Each chapter had a small quote by its title and the last chapter’s quote got my attention.

“Seeing many thing, but thou observest not.” Isaiah 40:20

The verse went quite well with the title of the chapter. I had a hard time actually believing that I was reading a Bible verse there, so I looked it up in my Bible, only to find out that Isaiah 40:20 was:

“A man too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot. He looks for a skilled craftsman to set up an idol that will not topple.”

Finally I realized that my teacher’s quote was from Isaiah 42:20. I felt like I should let the teacher know about it, even though the vast majority of people probably hadn’t noticed a thing. So I sent the teacher an email. I pray that this will open up in a conversation about the Bible, who knows.

 

Yes, again there is something that keeps me praying about this teacher. Oh and by the way, I should be in a school somewhere, but I still have no news from the internship man and I can’t get a hold of him. I don’t worry, this is frustrating that’s all.
