Welcome to our Devotional Website

Welcome to the devotion blogspot of the LHUMC 4Him Middle School Sunday School class.
Here you will find
-Worship Music: this group of songs are from a list of favorite songs compiled by our Sunday School class a couple of weeks ago.
-Weekly Devotions: each devotion is meant to take about 5 minutes. Get your Bible and begin your devotion. First, turn the volume up on your computer so that you can hear the worship music. Second, find the Bible verse in your version of the Bible. I usually use the Message
Note: if you want your own copy of The Message with a homemade Bible cover in your choice of material (!)read your devotions for six weeks, and then tell either me by responding to this blog, or your small group leader in the Sunday School class.
Let me hear from you!
Devotions February 23- February 28 (The week Lent begins)
Day 2

1. Prepare your heart for worship with this song: “From the Inside Out” (at the bottom of the playlist!)

2. Read
the scripture
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
12 He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
13 The LORD is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
Psalm 103:11-13
3. Think about it. The word “fear” in this sense means “having profound honor and respect, being in awe.” When we honor God with our worship, when we respect God enough to love everyone he has made, including the hard to love, his love for us never ends. Better yet, when we admit to God we have messed up and ask Him to forgive us, he takes our sins, our wrong doing away, “as far as the east is from the west.” What a promise!

4. Pray: Thank God for his love that is so big for you that it never ends and for forgiving and even forgetting the sins you ask him to forgive you for. Thank God for three specific good things that happened yesterday, or that you saw. Tell God what is on your mind, what is bothering you, and ask for help in dealing with these problems.

5. Listen: Ask God to show you what He would have you do today, and then be still and listen.
Good job spending a few minutes of your day with God!
