CHILD-FRIENDLY FOOTPRINTS THAT SPEAK!

Psalm 119:105 KJV

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

 

Have you ever walked on sand and seen your footprints? Footprints show where you’ve been. In life, our choices and actions also leave “footprints” that others can see. These footprints tell people what kind of person we are and if we love God.

The Bible says in Psalm 37:23, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” That means God wants to guide our steps so we leave good footprints that lead others to Him.

Two Types of Footprints

1. Footprints of Wickedness – People who do wrong things leave footprints that lead away from God. (Psalm 119:150)

2.  Footprints of Righteousness – Jesus left us an example so we can follow His steps.(1 Peter 2:21)

Which footprints are you leaving? Remember, people are watching and following your steps—even online! Your words, pictures, and posts also leave footprints. Do they show Jesus?

How to Leave Godly Footprints

·     Follow Jesus’ example (John 13:15)

·     Read and obey God’s Word every day (Psalm 119:105)

·     Make good choices – Ask, “Does this honor God?”

·     Learn from godly mentors and help others follow Jesus.

Imagine walking on a beach. Your footprints stay even after you leave. Someone will step where you stepped. Your choices today can help others tomorrow. So, make sure your steps lead to Jesus!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

*   Whose footprints am I following—God’s or the world’s?

*   What kind of footprints am I leaving for others?

*   How can I make better choices that please God?

PRAYER: Lord, guide my steps every day. Help me leave footprints that lead others to You. Remove anything that does not honour You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Shalom!
