Today's Verse
“Have you ever seen someone play a trick on another person and it go wrong for the trickster? Proverbs says this always happens: the ‘pit’ comes back on whoever digs it!”
Proverbs 26:27 · NIV
The Story
Imagine someone at school decides to set a trap to hurt you. But along the way, they end up falling into the trap they made. That's not a coincidence, Proverbs says it's a law!
When we plan something bad against someone else, we're actually preparing something bad for ourselves. It's like digging a hole in your own backyard: you'll be walking there every day! And the opposite is true too: whoever plants kindness harvests kindness back. God made the world this way: what you sow, you reap!
Today's Challenge
The Seed Test
Think about your actions today: what are you sowing in your friendships? Kindness? Help? Or are you digging a little pit somewhere? At the end of the day, tell your family: what good seed did I plant today?
Whoever tells the story is today's Sower of Good!
