WORDS OF LIFE

Today's reading: Proverbs 10

"The words of the godly lead to life..." Proverbs 10:11 NLT

Vacation Bible School begins today!

It's one of my absolute favorite times of the year.

Kids from our church, kids that are from other churches, kids that have never set foot in the church, all will gather starting this evening to learn about Jesus and have fun.

I get the awesome privilege of presenting the Bible lesson each week--a task I do not take lightly.

Seems quite appropriate, God sent really, that these words from Proverbs are what my eyes land on this morning as I read the Word.

I'm not just presenting Bible stories.

I'm not just filling in a time slot each evening.

I'm not just there for crowd control.

I'm not there to merely entertain.

I am being called to speak words of life into the hearts and minds of these kids.

Kids I may see each Sunday. Kids I may bump into at WalMart. Kids I may never, ever, see again.

God is giving me the opportunity to speak His words over them and into them--bringing life to their little lives.

Seeds I get to plant. Seeds He will nestle into the soil of their hearts for His cultivating in His time!
