Bible Reading: Psalm 23:1-6Madison's dog nuzzled up against her hand, whining anxiously. Madison closed her history textbook and looked down. "What's wrong, Buddy?" she asked, even though she knew Buddy couldn't answer. Then she heard thunder booming in the distance. Buddy perked up his ears, then whined again. Madison looked out the window at the dark clouds piling high as rain began hitting the glass. A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. Madison bent down to stroke Buddy's head. "It's okay," she said. "It's just a storm. You're safe inside."Buddy whined some more. Madison sighed. She needed to study for her big test tomorrow. Her heart beat faster just thinking about it. "Come on, Buddy, you're fine." Madison picked up her book again, feeling sick to her stomach. She always had trouble remembering all the dates and places, then she'd panic, which made it even harder to think. She hoped she wouldn't forget everything she studied.Mom walked into the room. "What's wrong?" she asked.Madison sighed again. "Buddy's scared of the storm, but I need to finish my homework."Mom nodded. "Buddy's always been scared of storms." She thought for a minute. "What are some things that scare you, Madison?"Madison looked up, surprised. "I'm scared of heights. Remember when Dad wanted me to go down that big water slide, but I couldn't even make it up the stairs?" She paused. "And sometimes I'm scared to take tests. I worry I won't remember everything and will get a bad grade.""So who do you go to for help?" asked Mom."Well, sometimes you and Dad. You help me study.""And that's good. But there's someone else you can also go to." Mom reached down and patted Buddy's head. "Isn't it interesting that Buddy knows to come to you for comfort? That's how Jesus wants us to think about Him. He wants to be our first option for peace and comfort. When we come to Him with our fears, He comforts us and reminds us that He's in control and will always love us and be with us no matter what happens.""So, since I'm worried about my test, I should pray about it?" Madison asked.Mom nodded. "I think that's a great idea." –Abigail SingreyHow About You?What scares you? Is it spiders, the dark, or meeting new kids at church or school? Maybe you freeze up with fear, or maybe you get a funny feeling in your stomach. Whatever worries you have, you can bring them to Jesus. He won't think they're silly. When we pray to God about whatever is troubling us, He will calm our worries and let us know He's with us.Today's Key Verse:Give all your worries to Him because He cares for you. (NLV) (1 Peter 5:7 )Today's Key Thought:Pray about your problems
364 NLV 2025 This year in Austin Texas February 10th and 11th is the eighth annual NLV Summit hosted by Sarah Elkins. A meeting of great minds, incredible opportunities, and a sharing of impactful stories. In today's episode Sarah reminisces on many of these stories from the previous several NLV Summits and how they have helped her shape her path going forward. Highlights Gaining perspective on life, especially when you feel hopeless. Incorporating the lessons your friends and peers don't even realize they're teaching you. Continuing to strive for the dream you want to build. Quotes “Something that continues to shape my work is something Melissa Hughes said when she hosted her session. She said; Sometimes you have to get up to the cheap seats. And she was using the metaphor for those high seats in the bleachers at a baseball game. So that we can gain perspective by getting to a higher view. To look at the bigger picture when we feel stuck.” “What is it? What does it do? Why does it matter?” About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Met sy groot krag en mag sorg Hy dat nie een wegraak of verdwaal nie. (NLV) Dis hier! 2025 is hier! Kan ek jou op hierdie eerste dag van die nuwe jaar 'n waarlik geseënde jaar toewens? En, weet jy in hierdie deurmekaar wêreld, het nie een van ons ‘n idee wat hierdie jaar gaan oplewer nie.Op hierdie dag, presies ‘n 100 jaar gelede, het 'n man genaamd Edwin Hubble, 'n wetenskaplike referaat by 'n obskure konferensie aangebied. Maar, wat net nog 'n gewone dag was, net nog 'n kalenderblaadjie wat omgeblaai is, was op die ou end ‘n dag wat deur die Discover Magazine as "een van die mees buitengewone datums in die geskiedenis van die wetenskap" bestempel is.Deur noukeurige navorsing en waarneming het Hubble aangekondig dat daar ander sterrestelsels buite ons eie is; dat die Andromeda-nebula of newel, nie bloot nabygeleë gaswolke was nie, maar hele sterrestelsels wat deur die ruimte gewentel het. Dit was letterlik die dag wat die Heelal ontdek is.Ons kyk op na die miljoen of so sigbare sterre van die Melkweg, en weet dat hulle net 'n handvol van die ontelbare sterre in die heelal is – en ons weet nie eers waar dit eindig nie.Dit laat ons son, ons aarde, ons lewens, ons probleme so oneindig klein lyk, so ongelooflik onbelangrik, nie waar nie? En weet jy God … God het hulle almal geskep.Jesaja 40:26 Kyk op na die hemel. Wie het die sterre gemaak? Hy laat hulle soos 'n leërmag uitmarsjeer, die een ster na die ander, en roep elkeen by sy naam. Met sy groot krag en mag sorg Hy dat nie een wegraak of verdwaal nie. (NLV).Soms kan die jaar 'n bietjie wankelrig begin. Miskien tref ons padblokkades langs die pad. Maar die realiteit is dat die God wat daardie "leërmag" in die lug geskep het; Hy wat elke ster op sy naam ken, dieselfde God is wat jou ongelooflik liefhet. En Hy het die begeerte om jou deur alles wat in jou toekoms oor jou pad kom, te lei.Dit is God se Woord.

Romans 4:13-14 NIVIt was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless Key #1 - KNOW THEMGenesis 17:1-4 NLTWhen Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.' Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. 2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 4 “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations!Genesis 17:5 NLTWhat's more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you are the father of many nations.Genesis 18:10-12 NIVThen the LORD said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was far past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and old, and my master is old, will I now have the pleasure of having a child?” Genesis 18:13-14 NIVThen the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the LORD? I WILL return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah WILL have a son.”Genesis 18:15 NIVSarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.”Hebrews 11:11“By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised..” Key #2 - TEST THEMGenesis 22:5 NIVHe said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there.

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:13; James 1:12-15Carter helped his older brother Nate pull and heave their boat to the water's edge. Then Nate looked over the items in the boat. "Fishing poles, net, tackle box. I think we're ready." The boys jumped in the boat and headed for the other side of the lake."What color lure should I use?" asked Carter as he looked at the rows of colorful fishing lures in the tackle box. "There's green, pink, blue, and yellow twisty tales. I'll try this bright pink one. I want to catch a big trout."Carter cast out his line in hopes of a bite. He settled back in his seat, enjoying the rocking of the boat."I have a fish!" he yelled a while later. He started reeling his line. The fish fought and struggled, but Carter soon had his first fish in the boat."Look at that big trout!" said Nate. "Pink must be the color to use."Carter grinned and threw his line back in. A few minutes later his pole jerked again. "It's another one," he said excitedly, scooting to the edge of his seat. He reeled his line as fast as he could, but this time he heard a sickening snap."My line broke!" he wailed. "It was a big one too. Maybe I can still get it."Soon his line was back in the water with another pink twisty tale. Both boys sat quietly and waited."You know," said Nate, breaking the silence. "Fishing reminds me of our spiritual lives. We use bright colors hoping the fish will notice our lures and bite. The fish think it's a tasty worm, but it's really only a plastic lure with a hook. They don't know there's a hook until they bite, and then it's too late.""Unless the line breaks," Carter said with a laugh.Nate grinned. "That's how sin is. It looks attractive, but once we bite, we find out how much of a mess it makes. That's why we need to remember that Jesus freed us from sin and trust Him to help us resist its bright lure."Carter nodded thoughtfully. "That's a good lesson." Then, with a twinkle in his eye, he said, "Now I just need to give you a lesson on how to catch fish!" –Kristi YutzyHow About You?Has something ever looked good to you, even though you knew it would be wrong? Cheating to get a good grade, stealing money to buy something nice, or lying so you don't get in trouble are some of sin's bright lures that tempt us. Don't believe those lies. Sin is always harmful--that's why Jesus died to free us from its hold over us. Trust Him to help you resist sin's temptation.Today's Key Verse:God is faithful…when you are tempted, He will make a way for you to keep from falling into sin.

Luke 19:30-36 NLVHe said, “Go into the town ahead of you. There you will find a young donkey tied. No man has ever sat on it. Let it loose and bring it to Me. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you letting it loose?' say to him, ‘Because the Lord needs it.'”32 Those who were sent found everything as Jesus had told them. 33 As they were letting the young donkey loose, the owners said to them, “Why are you letting the young donkey loose?” 34 They answered, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They put their coats on the donkey and they put Jesus on it.36 As Jesus was going, they put their coats down on the road.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Key #2 - No OffenseProverbs 19:11 ESVGood sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.1 Corinthians 13:5 AMPC“Love . . . takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]” Key #3 - Your Attitude sets your AltitudeEphesians 4:22-23 NLTThrow off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.

Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.

Your DAMAGE does not DEFINE you. God put HIMSELF within YOU. Romans 8:11 NIV And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Your DAMAGE does NOT define you. JESUS defines you! THE LIE: The more BROKEN you are, the less VALUABLE you are. 2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. THE TRUTH: Your VALUE remains despite your PAIN! Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 2 Samuel 9:1-4 NLV Then David said, “Is there anyone left of the family of Saul, to whom I may show kindness because of Jonathan?” 2 Now there was a servant in Saul's house whose name was Ziba. They called him to David, and the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?” And he said, “I am your servant.” 3 The king said, “Is there not still someone of the family of Saul to whom I may show the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “There is still a son of Jonathan who cannot walk because of his feet.” 4 So the king said to him, “Where is he?” Ziba answered the king, “See, he is in the family of Machir the son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.” 5 Then King David sent men to bring him from the family of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. You can't allow your ISSUE to become your IDENTITY. 2 Samuel 4:4 GNT Another descendant of Saul was Jonathan's son Mephibosheth, who was five years old when Saul and Jonathan were killed. When the news about their death came from the city of Jezreel, his nurse picked him up and fled; but she was in such a hurry that she dropped him, and he became crippled. It's OKAY to not be okay, but it's not okay to STAY that way. 1. ADMIT you're damaged. 2. God does His BEST work with DAMAGED people! 3. God wants to use your DAMAGE to REDEFINE your DESTINY! 2 Samuel 9:5-7 NLV 5 Then King David sent men to bring him from the family of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo-debar. 6 Mephibosheth the son of Saul's son Jonathan came to David and fell on his face to the ground in respect. David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he answered, “Here is your servant!” 7 David said to him, “Do not be afraid. For I will be sure to show kindness to you because of your father Jonathan. I will return to you all the land of your grandfather Saul. And you will eat at my table always.” Isaiah 41:9-10 NIV 9 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. 10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coastalchurch/message

I'm Rob Skinner and this is the Rob Skinner Podcast. In this episode, I share what I gained from trying to learn the “Secret of Happiness.” I spent 30 days trying to imitate Paul's example of being happy in all circumstances. I want to let you know how my “Secret of Happiness” campaign went and what I learned. I have learned to be happy with whatever I have. 12 I know how to get along with little and how to live when I have much. I have learned the secret of being happy at all times. If I am full of food and have all I need, I am happy. If I am hungry and need more, I am happy. 13 I can do all things because Christ gives me the strength. Philippians 4:11-13, NLV

JESUS CALMS US IN OUR STORMSKEY VERSE: GOD IS OUR SAFE PLACE AND OUR STRENGTH. HE IS ALWAYS OUR HELP WHEN WE ARE IN TROUBLE. PSALM 46:1 (NLV)
Bible Reading: Acts 26:26-29"Hey, Sawyer!" Cameron called down the hallway to his friend. Sawyer opened his locker and waited as Cameron hurried to talk to him. "I've been meaning to ask you--do you want to play ball with my church team?""Some other guys asked me to play with them," Sawyer said, pulling books from his locker. "I'm gonna be the pitcher on their team.""But you should play on my team!" said Cameron. "We're friends. The guys from church really want you to play with us too."Sawyer slammed the locker shut. "Yeah, and if I do, they'll want me to come to church with them," he grumbled. "To tell you the truth, that's why I'd rather play with the other guys. I don't want to hear about all that church and Jesus stuff!"As he spoke, a noisy group of boys rushed down the hall toward Cameron and Sawyer. "Hey, Cameron," called the tall boy in the lead. "Sawyer here is going to be on our baseball team. Want to play with us too? We joined a Sunday morning league. How about it?""Thanks," said Cameron, "but I, uh…""He goes to church on Sunday mornings," Sawyer interjected."Cameron goes to church? Now isn't that sweet?" said a boy in a blue shirt, and the others began to laugh as they turned to leave.Cameron swallowed hard. "C'mon, Sawyer. Play with our team. Please? I think you'd enjoy getting to know some of the guys I go to church with."Sawyer shook his head. "This is my big chance to pitch. It might be the only chance I'll ever get.""Come on. Let's go!" called one of the boys. Sawyer pulled his baseball cap on and joined the others heading for the exit, laughing and joking.As Cameron stood in the quiet hallway, Sawyer's words rang in his ears like a loud echo: It might be the only chance I'll ever get. Cameron turned and started home. Dear Jesus, he prayed, I was hoping this would be my big chance to help Sawyer meet more Christians who could help him see what You're like, but it didn't work. Please give me more opportunities to help Sawyer know more about You and how much You love him. Please give him another chance to trust in You. -Susan I. ZampichHow About You?Have you trusted in Jesus? He invites you to do that today. You've been given a chance to know Him as your Savior. Will you take advantage of it? He is patient and often gives people many opportunities to trust in Him, but you don't know what will happen from one day--or one moment--to the next. Don't miss this chance to come to Jesus. Trust Him as your Savior today. (To learn more, click the "Good News!" button in the right column of this page.)Today's Key Verse:Now is the right time! See! Now is the day to be saved.

Joshua 1:1-4 NIV 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. 1. Courage always involves an ASSIGNMENT (mission) Joshua 1:2 NIV 2 “Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. 2. Courage requires ASSURANCE (trusting fully in the Lord) Joshua 1:5,9 NIV 5 No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 3. Courage grows through ADHERENCE (commitment) Joshua 1:6-7,9 NIV 6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” 4. Courage matures through APPLICATION (of the Word of God) REINFORCEMENT: strengthen or support an object or substance, especially with additional material. Psalm 56:3-4 (NLV) 3 When I am afraid, I will trust in You. 4 I praise the Word of God. I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can only a man do to me? Joshua 1:7-8 NIV 7 “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go 8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. QUESTIONS 1) Courage always requires an assignment. Have you experienced this in your life? Describe a scenario where you felt stronger and more courageous after completing a mission. 2) What does it look like for you to fully trust in the Lord? What areas of your life require you to emphasize this even more. 3) What verses in Scripture encourage you to be stronger? How has God's Word made you a more courageous person?

256 The Marathon of Life In life we are rarely if ever handed our dreams and aspirations, oftentimes we must work our fingers to the bones and burn the midnight oil just to be able to stand at the starting line. In the end or maybe even halfway through we realize that all our perseverance and determination was worth it. In this episode Sarah Elkins and the venerable Pauline Joseph discuss the importance of staying true to one's self despite all trials, because we know we can offer the world something amazing. Highlights Finding the perfect moment for You. It's okay to take pride in your hard work. Leading the way for others. Quotes “With that one decision came other little decisions but I definitely made the right decision.” “Chances are if I was a different shade and a different gender you'd have a different conversation.” “I need to be happy and I have to be okay with that.” About Pauline I'm passionate about telling compelling stories that meaningfully connect brands with their audiences. Stories that ignite the imagination to make people think, laugh, click and engage. My business has a global mindset and outreach, but with a Caribbean heart and soul.

My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home.

The Impact We Bring How do you impact others? How do you think you are perceived by those people? These questions are explored in today's episode with incredible insight and the emotional intelligence of people who have also asked themselves these questions and decided that they wanted to leave a positive legacy. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Neetal Parekh discuss the importance of our impact on those around us, from the home to the workplace and even to our digital footprint. Viewed through the lens of self reflection and acceptance of how -or if- we impact the people around us, this episode is sure to bring awareness to our impact on others as well as the impact they have on ourselves. Highlights Warmth brings people out of their shells. Your impact on others can change them so make it a good one. Acknowledge the people who've changed you. We don't know how we're being perceived until someone speaks up. The more you do something the less awkward it will be and the more you will learn. Quotes “You have to learn to surrender. You'll never know the thousands of people listening, you'll never be able to know all of them because we have no way to know. But all of these people that are listening to your voice or hearing something you said and it may impact how they go about their day or go about their life.” “As a creator you would never know if and how it impacted people.” “When we really own that strength, it actually draws people that make it happen.” About Neetal Parekh Neetal Parekh is an attorney and founder/CEO of Innov8social, which builds content, tools, and programs to make social entrepreneurship more accessible, actionable, and transformative.

252 Dealing With Trauma Through Stories Sharing our stories and listening to the stories others tell us is the most important thing we can do in our interpersonal relationships, showing them that you understand and you care is a gift that only you can give. In this episode Sarah Elkins and her friend Lee Keylock discuss the importance of sharing our stories and carrying the stories of those we love with us so that we may heal and grow, as well as the importance of inspiring others to tell their own stories and pursue the path in life that will bring them joy and peace. Highlights Caring for another's story makes you care about yours. Keep the memories of those who mattered to you alive through stories. When you or another say something it can change everything. We use stories to heal. Quotes “Every experience you have leads you to where you're at. If you took any one of those experiences, stories, and songs out of the equation, it changes, something has to change. So it would change the trajectory of where you are now.” “To hold somebody's story like that and be responsible for it is a huge undertaking, you can't minimalize that.” About Lee Keylock Lee Keylock is Director of Global Programs at Narrative 4 and oversees the coordination and administration of all aspects of N4's ongoing programmatic development.

251 Our Magic Is Limited Only By Our Belief In Ourselves As we grow we have a tendency to be rather ignorant of our skills and abilities, or we may even downplay just how significant our impact can be. It is only when we look inward and see that despite perceived imperfections we are capable of anything, we just need to get up and do it. In this episode Sarah Elkins brings the esteemed Fatima Williams on to discuss the importance of your magic in every setting, from work to interpersonal relationships, and how that magic inspires not just others but yourself as well. Highlights What you do is because of them, the people who believed in you and inspired you. Don't let the pain destroy your spark. Knowing and thinking about your contribution isn't enough, you need to actively participate and contribute with your magic to have others see it. Quotes “Just thinking about it inside your head won't get you the results you want.” “To embrace who we are and what we can do, that is something that is instrumental to illuminating other people's part and our part in the process.” About Fatima Williams Fatima Williams is a Career Growth Strategist and a Certified CIPD HR with more than a decade of experience in the industry. She is on a mission to help 100,000 career professionals especially Women in particular to achieve DREAM CAREER MASTERY and build a career they love with the job they love waking up each morning.

Bible Reading: 1 Peter 2:21-22; 1 John 2:3-6"Mom, why do we do devotions every day?" asked Bo as she picked up a book with colorful illustrations of birds and flowers. "It seems like we get enough Bible teaching by going to church every week." As she spoke, she thumbed through the book she was holding. She studied a picture of a beautiful red cardinal. "I'd sure like this picture for my bird project," Bo said. "Can I cut it out?""That would ruin the book. Why don't you trace it?" suggested Mom."Good idea." Bo jumped up and found some tracing paper.Mom watched as Bo worked. "Why do you put the paper right on top of the picture?" Mom asked."It's tracing paper," replied Bo, surprised at her mother's question. "I put it on top of the picture so I can see the lines through the paper and trace them.""But you just saw the picture a minute ago," said Mom. "Why not put the paper to the side and look back at the picture every now and then?""Mom! I'm tracing it, not copying it," said Bo. "When you trace, the paper has to touch the picture." She looked at her mother suspiciously.Mom nodded. "You're right. I'm thinking of your question about having devotions every day. The Bible says our lives should look like that of Jesus--we should follow in His steps and love others the way He does.""And you're comparing that to tracing a picture?" asked Bo."Yes, because in order for you to trace that bird, your tracing paper needs to be right there on the picture, and in order for us to be like Jesus, we need to know what He's like. The Bible is His story--it shows us who He is. As we read and study the Bible--at church and on our own--we learn more about Jesus, and the Holy Spirit helps us apply what we learn to our lives. It's one of the ways He shapes us to be more like Jesus.""You mean, it's like He's tracing us over Jesus?" Bo lifted the tracing paper and looked at it, then put it back on the picture. "Okay," she said as she traced more lines. "As soon as I'm done with this, let's do our family devotions!" -Hazel W. MarettHow About You?Do you live the way Jesus lived? He lived a perfect life that none of us ever could, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can follow in His steps. One way to do that is to spend time reading the Bible so you can learn more about Jesus. It's important to read and study God's Word with other people at church, but it's also good to do it on your own. Learn what Jesus did and said, and then follow in His steps.Today's Key Verse:The one who says he belongs to Christ should live the same kind of life Christ lived. (NLV) (1 John 2:6)Today's Key Thought:Follow in Jesus's steps
Bible Reading: 2 Peter 1:2-9Jack wiggled impatiently as his Sunday school teacher tied a blindfold over his eyes. A big picture of a donkey without a tail was tacked on the wall, and it was Jack's turn to be blindfolded and turned around a few times before walking to the donkey and attaching a tail. This will be easy, he thought. He had noticed that the donkey was just a little to his left and about as high as his shoulders. When he was ready, Jack took a few wobbly steps, reached out and…there! He snatched off his blindfold and couldn't believe his eyes. There stood the donkey with a tail growing right out of its nose! Jack joined in the laughter as Mrs. Gates blindfolded another boy who was ready to try.After the game, Mrs. Gates had the kids sit down on the floor. She pointed to the donkey, which was still in place on the wall. "It would be easy to go right now and pin the tail in the right place," she said. "What made it hard during the game?""We were blindfolded," said one of the girls, "and we were dizzy from being turned around.""That's right," said Mrs. Gates. "Do you know that Christians are sometimes like that too? Attitudes that keep us from doing the right thing and showing God's love to others are like spiritual blindfolds. What do you think some of those might be?"Jack's hand shot up. "Selfishness," he suggested."Or being jealous of other kids," said another boy."Or thinking you're better than other people," offered one of the girls.Mrs. Gates nodded. "Things that are like spiritual blindfolds to us do not belong in our lives. When we trusted Jesus as our Savior, He set us free from sin and gave us everything we need to live godly lives for Him." She opened her Bible. "The book of Second Peter tells us some of the qualities that show others our lives have been changed by Jesus. When we lack these things because we're holding on to sinful attitudes, it says we become shortsighted--as though we're wearing a blindfold. When you notice a spiritual blindfold in your life, don't let it stay there--confess it to Jesus and trust Him to remove it."-Hazel W. MarettHow About You?Are there spiritual blindfolds in your life--sinful attitudes that keep you from showing others God's love? Are you quick to point out others' faults? Do you always insist on having your own way? If you know Jesus, He has given you all you need to live a godly life. Confess any sinful attitudes to Him. Then trust Him to help you see others the way He does so you can show them His love.Today's Key Verse:If you do not have these things [godly qualities], you are blind and cannot see far. You forget God saved you from your old life of sin. (NLV) (2 Peter 1:9)Today's Key Thought:Get rid of spiritual blindfolds
