This Week's Passage: Proverbs 4
Memory Verse: Prov. 4: 12
In this passage, a man named Solomon who was one of the greatest kings of Israel is giving advice to young people. He tells them to listen to wise advice, because that is what will allow them to live long. Wisdom is a gift from God that helps us all to make good choices. When we are faced with a decision (not just big things), wisdom from God helps us choose what's best for us in the long run.
Let me give you an example: what if someone gave you a million dollars, and you could buy whatever you wanted? Would you spend your money on the best clothes and shoes, or would you get someone who knew how to handle money to help you figure out the best way to spend (or save) it? As you go through life, you will find that the older you get, you will need wisdom more and more. Why not ask God for wisdom today?
Questions for you to think about:
1. What is at least 1 thing you will receive if you walk in wisdom?
2. Can you give one example when you made a wise choice instead of a foolish one? What were the results of that decision?
Share your thoughts with us, Jesuskidz!

Study the Word!
This week's passage: 2 Timothy 3:14-16
Memory Verse: 2 Tim. 3: 15
In this passage, Paul is writing a letter to a young man named Timothy who was like a son to him. He is reminding Timothy to hold fast to the Word of God which he's known since he was young. That's just what God wants you to do! He wants you to keep the Word in your heart. Every chance you get to read it, do so. You will read a LOT of books in your lifetime, but none of them will bless you like God's Word will. Make a decision now to spend time in the Word, and ask God to help you remember what it says to you.
This week's questions:
1. If you read the Word, what is it able to do for you?
2. Where do all the words in the Bible come from?
Prayer: God, thank You for giving me Your Word to teach me how to be who You created me to be. Help me to treat Your Word as something important in my life, and let me always live for You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
