CHILD-FRIENDLY MOTIVATION!

1 Corinthians 15:58

“Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.”

 

Memory Verse “In all the work you are given, do the best you can. Work as though you are working for the Lord, not any earthly master. Colossians 3:23 ERV

Motivation is what makes you want to do something or try your best. It’s the “push” inside you that helps you get up, work hard at school, help others, or keep going even when things are tough.

There are lots of people who give motivational speeches, but as Christians, our best motivation comes from God and His Word. The Bible tells us to do our best, not just to get rewards or praise from people, but to make God happy.

What Can We Learn?

- God wants us to work hard and do our best for Him.

- Our motivation should come from wanting to please God, not just to impress others.

- When we feel tired or discouraged, we can ask God to help us keep going.

This verse reminds us that God sees our hard work, and it matters to Him!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. What helps you get started when you don’t feel like doing something?

2. Who or what motivates you to do your best?

3. How can you remember to do things for God, not just for people?

4. What is one thing you want to do for God this week?

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for giving me the strength to do my best. Help me to remember that I am working for You, not just for others. Give me the motivation to keep going, even when things are hard.  In Jesus’ name, amen.

Shalom

EXTENDED READING: Isaiah 49:1-3

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
