The greatest thing about being a human is that we can change our attitude.  I hope you end up have a great attitude when we are done with your daily eword for kids today!

 

Eword for Kids

Today I will be encouraging you to have excellent attitudes.  The Bible actually tells us to have the same attitude as Christ Jesus.  What kind of attitude do you think He has? He has confidence, but at the same time has the heart of a servant.  He is secure, and at the same time is willing to lay down His life for others.  It sounds like he has a self less attitude.  He cares more about others than he does his own self!  That should make us want to be more like Him.  Let’s wake up every day and determine that we will have the same attitude that Jesus has.  We won’t try to put ourselves first.  We won’t try to make everyone notice us.  We won’t try to make ourselves the center of the world!  We are important to God, but He didn’t make us the center of the world.  He is. Our world should revolve around him.  So why not today, check your attitude.  Does it look like the attitude Jesus has?  Does your attitude glorify God?  Does it make you helpful around your house?  Does it make you want to serve others?  Then you are on the right track!  Keep it up. Having an excellent attitude lets others see Jesus in you!

Do you have a favorite teacher at school?

Do you have a favorite teacher at school?  By the time you graduate from High School, I’m sure you will be able to look back, and you will probably have several favorite teachers.  The best teacher of all, who has ever lived, has got to be Jesus.  He was exceptional about getting the lesson through to us.  He told us on several occasions, if we had ears, to listen up, He had an important message for us. He taught in unique ways, so that everyone would get it.  You might already know what is your personal learning style, which is the style of learning that really makes connecting with the lesson easier for you.  Jesus had that figured out too. Do you have your ears open?  Is your heart ready to receive?  Are you taking time to listen when He speaks to you?  The Old Testament book of Joel has a wonderful promise for you in chapter 2 verse 29.  It says that on sons and daughters, God will pour out His Spirit.  He will speak to you and tell you great and mighty things.  So listen up!  He will speak to you through His Word, by His Spirit, and through great godly teachers around you.  Keep your ears clean!  Hear what the best teacher of all is trying to get through to you!
