OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TEENS FRIDAY 9TH MARCH 2018: BE FRANK

Open Heaven 9 March 2018

MEMORISE: Wherefore putting away lying, speak
everyman truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:25

Please read: Ephesians 4:23-25

MESSAGE:
I once visited a friend and his wife prepared some food for me. The meat was hard that it
could not be cut with the teeth, and the condiments were in their different compartments,
but I forced myself to eat a little. Thereafter, my
friend’s wife asked me how the food was.

“Wonderful” I replied. Dissatisfied, she probed,
“You are my daddy: please tell me the truth. How can my food be wonderful, yet my husband does not come home to eat?”

So I told her what was wrong with her food and gave her tips on how to
be better.

If you are ready to learn and become better, you cannot cover up whatever is missing in your life.

Do you have problems with a particular subject,
speak out, tell someone how bad you are at that
subject so that you can be helped. Be open to learn what you don’t know. Be frank, honest and
true to yourself

KEY POINT:
It is wisdom to learn what you don’t know in order to be what you desire to be. Only fools cover up their weaknesses and refuse to learn.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 8-10
Mark 12:28-44

Hymn 2
1. When we walk with the Lord in the light of His
Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will,
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the
skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

4.But we never can prove the delights of His
love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows, for the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His
feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do, where He sends we will
go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.
