THEME: Goodness
LEARN IT: In order to grow God's fruit of GOODNESS, you've got to have good, healthy roots. The Bible says to protect your heart for it is the wellspring of life. What that means is, we need to be selective about the things we allow in our life. If we take in a lot of garbage, the roots of God's fruit can't grow. No roots, no fruit!
BIBLE STORY: "Jesus heals on the Sabbath" from Luke 6
LINK IT: The world we live in is like a huge dump heap. There is more garbage in the world than there is good. That's why it is easier to fill our lives with junk than it is with GOODNESS. What my eyes see, lands in my heart.
LIVE IT: Philippians 4 says, "Whatever is good...think about these things." The Bible instructs us to avoid following the pattern of this world. Filling our life with God's GOODNESS means we have a daily diet of his word and prayer in our life. It also means we don't bury ourselves in the garbage that surrounds us.
COMPASS POINT: "You've got to DO what is GOOD for YOU."
MEMORY MAX: Proverbs 4:23, "Above all, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do."
PRAYER: God, thank you for your goodness to us. We want to be people who show goodness to others. We ask the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts and help us become people who show goodness wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Show us the things we can do to fill our hearts and minds with goodness, and teach us to stay away from the things that fill our minds with garbage. Help us to remember to do the things we have committed to do this week. In Jesus' name, Amen
