Another week has passed, and it's time we get to go back to church! I'm so excited that I get to go to church and see all of my friends!
Last Sunday, it was raining really bad and a lot of people chose to stay home rather than go to church. I'm so glad all of you chose to come to church! One of you even rode your bike to church, in the rain, and then rode it back home to get a change of clothes so you could be baptized, and then rode it back! WoW! That's so awesome! Not everyone would do that. In fact, most of the time, many of those in our community would rather stay home then ride their bike to church; in the rain! But you all chose to go against what the crowd may do and you chose to come to church.
You know, it’s not easy to go against the crowd and do things that others probably wouldn't do. I mean, it's so easy just to go with the crowd. But often, we choose to follow the crowd instead of doing what’s right. Children, especially, tend to give in to peer pressure, following others rather than doing what we know is right.
Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we are going to learn all about how important it is to make up our own minds to please God, no matter what. We will learn that, when we live to please God, He will always bless our lives.
In Galatians 1:10a, we find a very important question that we must answer: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?” Taking a stand and pleasing God is much more difficult than trying to please the crowd.
Let us all choose just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Let's all choose to be just like all of you who chose to get up in the rain and come to church, even if it meant riding your bike to get there. Let's all choose to please GOD, not people!
I look forward to seeing all of you this Sunday in Greer Kidz Kids Church! Invite a friend! We have great things happening, and you don't want your friends to miss out on it all!
We have a seat saved for you! Enjoy this Family Devotion as you and your family prepare to join us at Church this Sunday!

We look forward to seeing you!
