Key Verse:
“For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.” Proverbs 9:11

Message

Everyone wants to live long on earth. It is against the promise of God to die young. But Absalom, King David’s son, did not live long. And Judas Iscariot, Jesus’ disciple, did not live long either. There were some things common in their lives: they did not fear God and they lacked understanding of actions that increase days. God is the Giver of life. Any child who wants to live a long and meaningful life must follow God’s path to long life.

Our Bible passage says two things help to add to our years on earth
(i) The fear of God and
(ii) Understanding of God’s ways. Those who fear God receive the wisdom to avoid evil. The fear of God begins as you turn away from all your bad ways and ask Jesus to forgive you. You gain understanding to do what is right as you study and increase in the knowledge of the Word of God. You must daily watch, pray and overcome temptations to sin against God. The Lord will then add to your years.

Prayer for today
Lord, teach me to fear You, give me understanding of Your ways and help me to obey You always.
