The Blessing of You a 5-Day Devotional for Kids by Mark Batterson and Summer Batterson DaileySample

Day Two: Everywhere You Go

“I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.”

—Psalm 23:6, NIRV

You can go east.

You can go west.

Either way, you are blessed.

If you travel as far as Kathmandu,

God’s goodness and mercy will always find you.

Devotion

The Bible tells us that God is love. Since God is always with us, that means His love is always with us. The Bible even says that God’s love and blessings follow us! Therefore, you can never, ever, ever, ever do anything or go anywhere that will separate you from God’s love. Whew! Isn’t it nice to go to bed at night and wake up in the morning knowing that God is still with you, ready to bless you?

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for being with me wherever I go! Help me see how Your good gifts are following me. You love me so much that You never want me to be away from You! Amen.

Activity

Play a game of tag with a friend or someone in your family. The person who is “It” never stops following you! That’s like God’s goodness and mercy—wherever we go, they are right there with us.
