I wonder if our boys and girls are in the habit of arising early. You know if we wish to accomplish much, there is nothing like an early start.
There is a little lesson from our picture today,—perhaps you remember the old saying,
“The early bird catches the worm.”
The girl has apparently fed the turkeys, and they now are seeking for beetles and worms. The girl is still guarding them, for these birds wander away, and unless watched, they may get a long distance from home.
I am sure many of our little readers can say,
“I know Whom I have believed,”
Many who truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, and His precious Word, and seek to please Him, in all their ways; whatever you have to do, ask the Lord to help you. for He says,
“Without Me ye can do nothing,” and, dear ones, always start the day with Christ.
Have you ever read the book of Joshua? You will find, Joshua was an early riser, “And Joshua rose early in the morning.” God was with Him and blessed Him.
How important to take a little time early in the morning to gather a little spiritual food before leaving for school or your duties. If you have time for only a few verses of Scripture, read them and meditate upon them, and God will bless them to your soul.
Then you will value God’s blessed Word, and find pleasure in searching the Scriptures. Rest not, until you can truly say,
