How will I know what I want to do
when I grow up?

"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him".
James 1 : 5

It is good to think about what you want to do when you grow up. God has made you good at doing certain things. He has given you talents, interests and abilities. As you get older, you will learn more and more about your abilities. Your parents and other people who know you well will help you uncover and develop your talents.

But don't wait for them to tell you what to do. Whenever you get interested in something or do well in something, keep working at it. Find out more about about it. Ask questions about it. Read books about it. Take an extra class. Ask God to guide you and give you a desire to keep learning. God has a plan for your life. He created you and loves you. He knows exactly what you will be best at and enjoy most and where you fit in his plan. Keep asking God to direct you, and he will do it.

ACTIVITY
Today's Bible verse is a great one to memorize. Write out the verse on an index card, including the Bible reference. Keep the card with you and learn it by heart. God will help you keep this truth in your heart the rest of your life! And he will give you this wisdom whenever you ask for it.
