“Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” – James 3:1

In 2004, a Berlin driving instructor who taught more than 1,000 motorists how to drive said he never got a driver's license because he was too nervous to retake the test after he failed the first time - 43 years ago.

"I flunked it because I drove too fast at a roundabout and didn't come to a complete standstill at a stop sign," the instructor, identified by police as Wolf-Dieter.

"I was too afraid to try again," he said. Police caught him after a minor accident with a Polish truck recently. He told police he never had a license. He said it was his first accident after four decades of driving cars, tractors, and even tanks as a former East German army soldier.

The Lord was a teacher and He has a high expectation for teachers. Today in prayer, pray for those who teach and ask the Lord to look after them.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” – Henry Brooks Adams

God’s Word: “It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers” – Ephesians 4:11
