MY CHOICE
Today's reading: Proverbs 14-15

"The wise person makes learning a joy; fools spout only foolishness." Proverbs 15:2 NLT

I'm about to complete my second week of Vacation Bible School.

As much as I absolutely love the opportunities VBS brings a church for reaching kids, I'm growing weary...my alarm goes off much earlier than I'd like, my laundry is piling up and my guys are growing tired of PB&J sandwiches thrown at them as I head out the door.

So I needed this reminder as I prepare for these last two evenings of lessons.

I want the kids I'm standing before to catch a glimpse of the Gospel in a way that stirs their hearts, captures their imagination and changes their lives.

I don't want to 'spout foolishness'.

These kids don't need any more of that in their lives. They have televisions that do that for them. They have music icons who get paid to promote an easy life. They have the world attempting to lure them away from Truth and into trouble. They have unbelieving parents who model it in their homes.

So I desperately want to finish well the task before me.

I want to make the Bible come alive to them in a way that they'll never forget.

I want to teach them in a way that they don't even realize they're being taught!
