Getting the Word Deep Into Hearts

"Hey, Ms. Jackie! Listen to this! Is this what we were talking about in God Time?" I listened as a 7th grade boy eagerly wanted to read me a verse he had found in the Bible. "I first looked up Luke 10:27 (our theme verse) and in the footnotes it said to look at Deuteronomy 6:5. I did and then I read down a ways. Listen - verse 13. 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" I was so proud of him! Our theme for the week was "This world is not your home. You are just passing through." We talked about the meaning of "why gain the world and lose your soul?" and the importance of not getting sucked in to worldly thinking. We focused on the temptation of Jesus and how Satan wanted him to get the world's comforts and ignore God. The verse fit perfectly with the theme of the week! God is using His word to get deep into our kids' hearts. Thanks, God!
