DAY 8: Wednesday, October 8
TOPIC: Children
SCRIPTURE: “Direct your children onto the right path, and when they get older, they will not depart from it.” – Proverbs 22:6
OBSERVATION: The Bible tells us that children are a gift from the Lord, and they are the best gift we could ever receive. It can be easy to get caught up in the worry of not doing enough or being enough for them. This scripture reminds us to stay the course and continue to lay the foundation of the love of Christ for them. Continue to take time and remind them of the promises of the Lord and who they are in Christ. Don’t just teach them, but show them what a life living for Christ looks like so that when they get older they will have a solid foundation to build their lives on. God will use the seeds that were planted in their young age to bring them back to Him.
PRAYER: Father, thank you for the gift of children! The joy they bring into our lives is unmatched and gives us a glimpse of the love you have for each one of us. I pray that every parent, teacher, minister, volunteer, or any other person involved with children, are strengthened and encouraged to continue pouring the love of the Lord into them. Father, I also pray for the children who may not have someone to show them the love of Christ. I pray that you will place people in their lives that can lead them to You. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.
