CHILDREN WHO KNOW HOW TO TRUST GOD.

Jeremiah 17:8, "Blessed is the man that trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreads out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat comes, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."

Our children need to learn to trust the Lord in the little things of life now, so they will know how to trust God in the bigger things of life. See the example of Joseph in

Genesis 45:6-8; Genesis 50:20; Proverbs 13:5,6; 16:20.

CHILDREN WHO HAVE HUMBLE HEARTS.

The people who God is looking for are those who have a humble spirit. Isaiah 66:2, "To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at My word."

Isaiah 57:15, "For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."

1 Peter 5:6, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time."
