Just for You-th- Teen Devotional

Just For You-th

 

Jonathan Edwards, the great eighteenth century- preacher, made five resolutions for himself in his youth and lived by them faithfully: 1) to live with all might while I do live; 2) never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possibly can; 3) never to do anything which I should despise or think wrongly of in another; 4) never to do anything out of revenge; 5) never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

 

As a young person you are formulating your life’s character. What resolutions have you made, and are they biblical? This week see what God’s Word has to say concerning youth. 

 

THOUGHT: The seed of character is being sown and will produce a certain fruit.
