MOST PREP SAT CLASS
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Job 14:1-6
Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 30:1-24; Matthew 26:57-75
Look away from him and leave him alone, that he may enjoy, like a hired hand, his day. (Job 14:6)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Society stereotypes include “sullen teens” who come home, slam shut their bedroom doors, and ignore and avoid parents. Of course, while there’s some truth in many stereotypes, this one isn’t particularly restricted to youth. People of all ages find ways to pout, although they don’t necessarily recognize or admit it.
It doesn’t end with older siblings or parents. We may resent someone watching us work, imagining that they’re judging our every move, whether they are or not. We can shut out teachers and others if we imagine that they aren’t truly concerned with our best interests.
Unfortunately, when life frustrates us we often yell, slam doors, and pout at God. We forget that He’s the only one who can bring us release. However, He isn’t lurking over us, trying to spot the tiniest flaws in our behavior. He does watch over us, but only in love, looking to do what is best for our eternal salvation while also meeting our daily needs.
He may allow suffering in our lives. He may even send the afflictions. But if He does, it’s only because these troubles are what we need to keep us in the faith and focused on Jesus. Like Job, we don’t know what God knows. And we’re fools when we try second-guessing Him.
What we do know is that He loves us fools. He loves us enough to sacrifice His Son for us. He loves us enough to continue forgiving and forgetting our sins. He loves us enough to want to spend eternity with us. And when we start paying attention to Him, we realize the same thing that Job did: “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth” (Job 19:25). When He does, we’ll see Him with our own eyes, knowing that we’ll be with Him forever. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
For as a tender father Has pity on His children here, God in His arms will gather All who are His in childlike fear. He knows how frail our powers, Who but from dust are made. We flourish like the flowers, And even so we fade; The wind but through them passes, And all their bloom is o’er. We wither like the grasses; Our place knows us no more. (Alleluia, Sing to Jesus, LSB 820:3)
