When you do what’s right, others can see God

Dear friends,
In the fourth week of October, we continued the story with Daniel’s friends in Daniel 3. No one would have thought differently about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego if they had bowed down to Nebuchadnezzar’s statue to escape the fiery furnace. But they decided to obey God, even though it might have cost them. God came through and rescued them from the furnace. Because of the integrity these men showed, others were able to see God’s power, too.
 
Bottom Line: When you do what’s right, others can see God. Almost every single day, kids will face a moment when they’ll need to think about making some sort of wise choice—from how much effort to give a project at school, to the way they play at soccer practice, to the way they treat peers they may not always get along with. And as easy as some of these choices might seem to us, kids are thinking about lots of variables, like friends and how people might respond to them. We pray that as kids learn about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they’ll realize the importance of doing the right thing, and that if they do what’s right, they can even help others see what God is like.
 
Memory Verse #6:  See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people (1 Thessalonians 5:15, NLT).
 
God Bless,
