Memory Verse: “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.” Matt. 6:3333But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33).
TOM was a country boy who had just finished school. He was about to leave Sunday school and his friends to go and take a job in the big city. A kind Christian friend, who had gone with him to the stion, said to him: “Now, Tom, remember you are going to launch your craft on a big and dangerous ocean.”
“Yes, I know it,” said Tom, and taking a Bible out of his pocket, and holding it up, he added, “But you see, I have a safe compass to steer by.” That was fine, and we trust that dear Tom sought guidance from its sacred pages to steer a safe course home to heaven. The Book was the guide of young Timothy (2 Tim. 1:5, 3:15, 17) and it is still the best guide for youth today.
“Wilt Thou not from this time cry unto Me, my Father, Thou art the guide of my youth?” Jer. 3:44Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? (Jeremiah 3:4).
The Lord Jesus said: “I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 3:1111Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (John 3:11).
