DEVOTION: The Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you." The Story pg. 33
When you do God's will and use the gifts and abilities that He gives you to His glory good things happen. You may not become president or even vice president (which is kinda what happened to Joseph in Egypt). But there are good things that will happen.
1. You will have a good conscience. There is nothing that gives you a better feeling or more peace than knowing that you have done the right thing.
2. You will make a difference in the lives of others, or should I say God will make a difference in the lives of others through you.
3. You will grow in your own relationship with the Lord.
Don't get me wrong, life is never going to be perfect, but it is a whole lot better than living apart from God's will and going your own way. There will always be those opposed to you when you do God's will, but it is not your fault that they are opposed. It is their own rejection of God's will for their own lives.
Always remember that God's way is best even when it is hard and even when it seems to be the long way around. The Lord will bless you.
Prayer: Lord God, allow me and help me to live the way you want me to so that I may honor you in all I say and do. Amen.

HELP FOR PARENTS TO GUIDE THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH THE STORY
A big part of The Story experience is that the whole family grows together in it as each person in the family reads it, you will all literally be on the same page. yet, it may be hard to get discussion going or to help you get started together. Are you looking for a way to connect with your kids as they and you read The Story together? There's help!
If you click the link below you will find parent pages for all age groups that you can use to connect with your kids at least once a week. Whenever your "together" time is, make it productive. It is a .pdf file of parent pages that goes from lesson one all the way through 31. Check it out and tell me what you think. I think they are excellent!!
