Parents and Kids Daily Devotional "This Is Living"Sample

Wow! How time flies! We have entered the fourth month of 2022. How are you today? I believe you are well and richly blessed.

We will begin to dig deeper into the theme of ”THIS IS LIVING”. What is that? We will learn about how to be followers of Christ, who glorify the name of the Lord, and testify about all the miraculous things that God has done in our lives.

Acts chapter 3 tells the story of Peter and John who healed a lame beggar. This man sat at the gate called Beautiful, just outside the Temple. People were both amazed and surprised to witness the miracle because the Peter and John they knew were just unschooled and ordinary men. It blew their mind that Peter and John were able to perform such a miracle - a lame man walked.

Let’s read further into the next chapter. In Acts chapter 4, it is written, “.. they took note that these men had been with Jesus.” In the end, people understood that it was not Peter and John who did the miracle. It was Christ in them that enabled them to do so.

That’s what it means to be witnesses of Christ. It is when others see Christ and His power at work in our lives. This month is dedicated to discussing the many ways to do it.
