Be Thankful
1 Thessalonians 5:18 says “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God.” Even when we have a bad day in school God still gives us plenty of things to be thankful for. We have family, friends, a house to live in, and a good church to go to. In Psalms 100:4 it says, “Enter into His gates (enter prayer) with thanksgiving.” During our prayer we need to thank God for all the things He has done. He has given us a way to go to heaven, He gives us good health, and protects us. In I Thessalonians 5:17 it tells us to pray without ceasing. We should pray throughout the day thanking God for His wonderful blessings.

Be Saved Today
God’s will is for you to be saved. In 2 Corinthians 6:2 the Bible says now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. If you look in Isaiah 53:6 you will see that all have gone astray from God. Our sin keeps us from going to heaven. Romans 6:23, tells us that the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Now, turn to Acts 16:31, that says that if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be saved. So, how do you get to heaven? Believe and ask the Lord to save you. He is the only way.

God’s Will For Girls
Do Pure and Right Things
The Lord looks down on us girls. He watches how we act and knows our thoughts, whether they are good or bad. Others that are around us watch us too. The Bible tells us this in Proverbs 20:11, “Even a GIRL is known by HER doings, whether HER work be pure, and whether it be right.” If we obey our parents right away with the right attitude the Lord will see it. If we do it with an unhappy heart, the Lord sees that too.
The things that are pure and right are in the Bible. We must read it to know what they are so we can do them. Others will know we are trying to obey the Bible by the things we do.

A Promise
Jesus came from heaven above to die on a tree at Calvary for all my sins that I have done. O, what a Savior. O, what a friend. He will keep you to the end. If you are saved you’ll go to heaven to stay with him forever

This young lady is 8 years old and very dear to me. She has written her first devotion. She will be writing a series of devotions titled "God's Will for Girls". The first one is about listening to your parents. It was first published in our ladies newsletter at our church. I have set up a special category to file all her future devotions . Here is her very first devotion.
God's Will For Girls
Hear The Instruction of Your Father
The Bible is not just for adults. It is for us girls, too. Let’s look at some Bible verses that tell us how to live. Proverbs 1:7 tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools hate wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 4:1 tells us to hear the instruction of your father. Proverbs 4:7 says wisdom is the number one thing to get and to also get understanding. You may be asking yourself how do I get wisdom? Hear the instruction of your father! Ephesians 6:1-3 tells us girls to obey our parents and honor our father and mother. If we do that we will live long on the earth.
