A Little Child Will Lead

Journey to the Manger

Day 9

 

Isaiah 11:6

The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.

Something to Talk About

Jesus was the little child that showed us how to live together in peace.  Children sometimes don't know the power that they have.  Talk with your children about the ways that they lead you to do the right thing.  Talk about the ways that they lead others by the things that they say, and the things that they do.  Today, challenge everyone in your family to notice someone making a good choice and to thank that person for doing so.  ("Mom, thank you for helping me with my homework."  "Bobby, thank you for showing your brother how to use the remote control.")

 

Prayer

Dear God,

Thank you for coming as a child to show us your way of peace.  Help us to follow and to encourage others along the way.

Amen.
