A DESCENDANT OF DAVID

Memory Verse

I will raise a good descendant in David’s family. This descendant will be a king who will rule in a wise way. - Jeremiah 23:5b

King David was ‘a man after God’s heart’. He trusted God and followed his commandments. God promised David that the Messiah would come from his lineage. It took a long time before this promise was fulfilled. God fulfilled the promise through Jesus.

Jesus was born into the lineage of David and became the Messiah God had promised. Just like David, Jesus is also a King. However, he has a bigger kingdom - He is the King of the whole wide world.

Did God make any promises to your grandparents, parents, or even you? Is it taking a long time for the promise to be fulfilled? God might just be ready to fulfil that promise through you, so it's important to keep trusting God and hold on to your family values.

Word of the Day

Say and Pray

Lord, help me hold on to my family values.

Use me to honor my family. Amen
