First Family,
Serving as a co-leader for a great group of third-grade kids this week at Vacation Bible School has been my joy. Most of my class members do not come from First Baptist families but are our guests, which serves as a great reminder of Vacation Bible School's outreach potential. Your prayers are invaluable to us. Please join me in praying for all of our kids and their families who are involved this week. Particularly on Wednesday and Thursday, when we share the Gospel with each group.
Jesus taught us in Matthew 18:3-4,
3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
In the ancient world, a child was without status or rights, utterly dependent on the goodwill of others to care for him or her. In a similar way, the Kingdom of God requires humility and dependence upon God’s good will for our needs. He calls us to give up claims to power and status and awaken to one's total dependence on Him. Indeed, we are all “little children” before God, completely dependent upon God for the breath of life here and now and for the life to come. This is a profound reminder that I am learning again at the VBS.
Humble yourself before the Lord, and He will lift you up!
