The students arrived and the doors were opened as our first
year as Providence Christian School. Our theme verse this
year speaks of God’s providence. James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect
gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who
does not change like shifting shadows.” This piece of scripture reminds me of
the first verse of an old hymn. As the author writes,
“Great is Thy Faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of
turning with thee. Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail
not. As thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.” This stanza echoes
the sentiments of the text. It encourages us to put our trust and
confidence in Almighty God for his care. We can hold firm to His promises
because he is faithful and remains our provider and the sustainer. We
have enjoyed the good gift of Christian education at this school for over 50
years and we celebrate the start of another year of learning about Him, His
creation and His created order. We are thankful for his gift of Christian
education, of Christian teachers and a wonderful supporting community.
