watch and wait

Our Lenten devotional (for kids!) is about watching and waiting for the risen Christ....watch and wait...ok Lord...please help me to do that today. "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna hosanna!"

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Re-joice. Re-New. Re-Jessica!

Amen.

Becoming a Wise Person
I wonder if you can remember a decision you made or some words you spoke that you now recognize were wrong. We’ve all made wrong decisions and said things we wished we had not said, and those things linger, sometimes for a long time, causing all kinds of issues and problems that we have to deal with.

Can you imagine being such a wise person that you always make wise decisions; you never speak foolish words; you are always perceptive and discerning and have wise judgment? Just imagine how different your life could be if you were a very wise person!

Well, here’s the good news: You can become a wise person. God wants all of his children, those of us who are born from above, to be wise and discerning, and he has provided all that we need to be wise. But this wisdom will only come to us if we pursue it, if we desire it, if we acquire it. And how do we do that? Through God’s Word and prayer.

There are 31 chapters in Proverbs, so by reading a chapter in Proverbs every day and you will be gaining wisdom. Journal what that chapter teaches you about wisdom, and then pray that wisdom into your life. My friends, this could really be a pivotal moment in your life, where you intentionally seek to be a wise person by pouring God’s wisdom into your mind and praying it into your life.

Again...RE-Jessica!
