The Secret You Thought Nobody Knew

A Devotional for Kids!

Do you carry a secret with you, a deep, dark secret that you are glad no one knows about you? It may be something you did, that you really regret, or something someone did to you. You think no one knows and you are never going to tell anyone.

God already has you covered.  He knows all about each of your secrets, good or bad.  The best part of it is, He knows and still loves and cares about you.  The Bible says you are the apple of His eye.  He is crazy about you!

God is omniscient.  He knows everything about everything; far beyond what man has ever discovered.  Inspite of Him being so wise and powerful He cares about each one of us.

“What is the price of five sparrows?  A couple of pennies?  Not much more than that.  Yet God does not forget a single one of them.  And he knows the number of hairs on your head!  Never fear, you are far more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.”  Luke 12: 6 and 7 [The Living Bible]

God knows the number of hairs on your head and even how many have split ends.  Isn’t that amazing that He cares even about each one of our hairs.  He cares about the little birds and how much more He cares about each person, no matter what our station in life is. 

If you read Psalm 139 you will get a good idea of how well God knows and loves you. My favorite verses are 17 and 18.

“How precious it is, Lord, to realize that you are thinking about me constantly!  I can’t even count how many times a day your thoughts turn toward me.  And when I waken in the morning you are still thinking of me!” [The Living Bible]

I want to walk with you spiritually this year, inviting you to read the Bible through from cover to cover; from Genesis 1 all the way to Revelation 22:21.  If that sounds too difficult for you and your kids, you can join in again after you have taken a break or join us for the days you’re up to it.  I promise that you will understand the Bible in a much deeper way if you read it through from cover to cover in a year’s time.

Accept my challenge to read the Bible through in one year chronologically, including the Old and the New Testament.

Today read:
Deuteronomy 29:1-30:20
Luke 11:37-12:7
Psalm 78:1-31
Proverbs 12:19-20
