ALL MONTH LONG IN WLUMC KIDS SUNDAY SCHOOL, WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THE VIRTUE OF WISDOM.

How many times recently have you heard a celebrity or influencer promote "you do you" or "live your truth"?

Although it's true that God has created each of us with unique gifts and desires, everything falls apart if we don't seek wisdom from God in everything we say and do. Our world is all about popularity, appearance, and intelligence, but in God's kingdom, wisdom is of far greater value. Jesus showed us perfectly what a wise life looks like: stay connected to God and seek God's best in every circumstance. Then follow through and do it!  

As we continue to journey with God's people through the story of Scripture, we meet the kings of Israel and Judah—those who made wise choices and those whose foolish choices brought down a nation. Through the lives of David and Solomon, we also examine the Bible's wisdom literature, as found in the Psalms and Proverbs. Children will discover that true wisdom comes through a constant connection with God, just as a well-rooted tree on riverbanks draws life from the water. And the best news of all? God wants us to ask for wisdom and delights to give it.
