DEVOTION: "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. You have set your glory in the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise." Psalm 8:1-2
Yesterday we had our eighth grade confirmation celebration! Part of that was that the kids had to read essays that were written. All I can say is that I was greatly impressed and amazed by these wonderful 14 year olds! They are great kids who believe in Jesus and love Him as their Lord and Savior and it shown brightly yesterday! What great examples of Christianity they are for ALL of us!
A lot of the time our culture gets down on young people. We tend to lump all teenagers into the "bad" category. With these kids, that couldn't be further from the truth. I'm very proud of them. You should be too!
Don't get me wrong, they are normal kids who get in trouble from time to time and give their parents headaches and heartburn on an almost daily basis, but they are also CHRISTIAN kids who believe in the love and forgiveness of Christ and live out that Christian faith in many ways throughout their lives. It is that love and forgiveness that is going to take them far in this world and carry them all the way to eternal life.
I would say that we need to support our youth in their faith throughout their growing up years, but I think they are going to do a lot of supporting of the faith life of this church themselves for many years to come. These eighth graders along with all of our kids are going to be great Christian leaders for the rest of their lives if they hold on to Christ! Look for them all to be doing great things for many years to come!
Let us pray. Lord God we thank you for our young people and the examples of faith you have made them to be. Continue to work in and through them to bring about your glory, honor, and peace.
