Can kids really make wise choices? Yes! When wisdom comes from God, it isn’t always all about how old you are or how much life experience you have! God will give wisdom to anyone who asks Him for it.
Kids may not make wise choices every time—most adults don’t either—but everyone can grow in wisdom. Making wise choices isn’t always easy, and it’s independent of how smart or good we are. True wisdom comes only from God. Wisdom is a journey we can take with God cheering us on as we walk in His way. Grow in wisdom like Jesus: read and know His Word, listen to and copy the parents and leaders He has placed in your lives, and ask Him when you need direction. When we mess up, we can learn from our mistakes and accept the grace God gives us.
This four-part series teaches elementary kids that wisdom is choosing God’s way instead of your own. Everyone needs wisdom from God, no matter how smart they are and if they ask God to give them wisdom, He will!
A lesson will drop right here every Wednesday. You can also find it on the private Facebook group.
