OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS 20 FEBRUARY 2019 – ENGAGE YOUR HANDS
MEMORISE: The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh. Ecclesiastes 4:5
Read: Ecclesiastes 9:10
10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol (the place of the dead), where you are going.
MESSAGE:
One lesson we learn from the story of Moses is that God can reward you for doing your normal duties. Moses’ mother was paid salaries for raising her own baby.
If you can only be faithful in your regular duties, God can use that as an excuse to reward you beyond your expectations.
Are you faithful with your house chores? If you are given assignments in school, do you do them faithfully or copy the work of others? Are you faithful with your responsibilities in church?
Are you faithful in taking care of your siblings? God is interested in all these things. When He sees anyone that does his regular routine duties faithfully, He is moved to bless the fellow. Read – Open Heavens 20 February 2019
He could bless you with good grades, admission into the school of your choice, financial provision and so on. Just as we see in Matthew 25, when God wants to reward a person, He judges from the person’s faithfulness to his/her duties.
Your faithfulness in little things can be the key to getting your desires from God.
KEY POINT:
Many teenagers are not doing well in school because they are not doing well at home.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Numbers 3-4
Mark 3:22-35
Hymn 9
1. I am so glad that our Father in heaven
Tells of His love in the book He has given;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see;
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.
Chorus
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus love me;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.
2. Though I forget Him and wander away,
Still He doth love me whenever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.
3. Oh, if there’s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me.”
