Day 5 · February · Proverbs 5:10
Today's verse
“Everything you earn through effort should be taken care of so it stays with the people you love, instead of being thrown away.”
Proverbs 5:10 · NIV
The Story
Imagine you spent a long time drawing a beautiful picture or building a LEGO castle. You put a lot of energy into it. But then you go play something else, don't put it away properly, and someone steps on it, breaks it, or your toy disappears. So annoying, right?
The Bible says it's the same thing with grown-ups' effort. When we don't take care of what we've earned, a "stranger" comes and takes it away. That's why Mom and Dad work carefully and take care of what belongs to you!
Today's Challenge
Guardians of the Treasure!
Today you're the "Guardians of the Treasure"! Choose your favorite toy and take care of it all day: don't let it fall, put it away in the right place when you're done playing.
Whoever took care of their treasure is a true Guard of the King!
