Back to School Inspiration – 12 Bible Verses {Free Printable}
It’s back to school season! New books, school supplies, and fresh eager minds are ready to conquer the coming year. But it can be a bit stressful to transition from the summer holidays back to a regular school routine. And I don’t mean just for the kids! We moms need a bit of encouragement too, as we gear up for another school year.
12 Bible verses to encourage you during back to school season:
Wisdom
God is the author of wisdom, and when we seek Him, we will be filled with the riches of His knowledge.
“For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” – Proverbs 2:6

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” – James 1:5
Being Teachable
It is important that we remain humble and teachable. Yes, we are the teachers, but we also need to be ready to be taught.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.” – Philippians 2:3
“Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.” – Proverbs 13:18

“Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” – Deuteronomy 11:18,19
