“Choose Rightly”
Thursday, December 12, 2024Key Verse
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Text — Proverbs 14:12-16
Message
Many children are not aware that there are some things that appear good but, in the light of God’s word are sinful, and will not go unpunished unless the child repents and turns away from such. The eating of the forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve in disobedience to God’s instruction looked good, but it was not the right thing to do. This act of disobedience resulted in God’s judgment and punishment for them and their future generation.
Watching cartoons or playing games when you should be doing the house chores or school homework may seem appealing to the lazy child, it is not the right thing to do. Telling a lie to avoid punishment may appear good, but it is a way of destruction. Dressing in a way that exposes your body may appear fashionable, but it is a form of disobedience with serious consequences. Choose to be unique like Daniel and Ruth. Do only what is right, that pleases God and agrees with His word every day. God will help you, if you sincerely ask Him.
