We were going through the Book of Acts in my Sunday school class of children in the early grades. When we came to chapter 6, in trying to explain what “daily ministrations” were, I asked the class, “What do you do when you first get up in the morning?” Most of the children answered, “We get dressed.” A few said, “We eat breakfast.” But Brian sat quietly, shaking his head “no.” So I asked Brian, “What do you do?” And he said, “First we pray.”
What a sweet reminder of the really important things from a young eight-year-old. Boys and girls, do you thank the Lord Jesus for taking care of you through the night? And do you ask Him to take care of you and help you through the day to do what pleases Him?
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
