Lifetime Virtues ~ Humility


SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 18: 1-6
There is SO much to learn from a child although adults tend to think they are wiser and better. Yes, adults have MORE experiences; those should keep our hearts in the right condition ~ HUMBLE.
 
LESSON POINT: (Observation) Humble in All Ways
Humility is not easy to learn but if the bible teaches it, it should be embraced. The disciples had its opposite in mind. The worldly stance was to be GREAT! Jesus pointed out HUMILITY ~ that of a child; simple, trusting, patient, forgiving, accepting.
 
TRUTH: (Application) ~ Learning from the Lesser.
 
No matter how small something is, we can learn a lesson or two from it. Eg. ant ~ be hardworking. Child ~ simple & trusting. As we grow older, we need to take on the good virtues of a child. No wonder many say that adults tend to be a child again in their twilight years!
 
BIBLE VERSE: Matthew 18:1-4
Humility is NOT a Weak word. It BUILDS character for one's destiny.
 
 
ACTIVITY:
Have each child choose someone YOUNGER or LESSER in talent than he to recite the bible verse as a reminder to be humble.
 
PRAYER: Lord Jesus,, continue to work in my life with constant reminders of being Humble until I am like You and bring You glory. Amen.
