I Am But a Child

Jay Martin unpacks Solomon’s “I am but a little child” (1 Kings 3:7) to show why diversity, questions, scrutiny, and time pressures keep every educator small before God. Instead of despair, he urges child-like prayer, patient decisions, glad accountability, and joyful lifelong learning—closing with his poem “Childing Up,” a celebration of teachers who stay eager to grow in God’s vast world.
