Day 1 – Read Psalm 145:17

God is righteous, which means everything He says or does is right. He cannot do things that are wrong; it’s not a part of His character.

Day 2 – Read Psalm 145:17

Write it down below. Memorize the verse today.

Day 3If God is right in all His ways, then we should listen to Him when He asks us to do something. Today, you will read some of the things God has asked us to do. Think about, or write down, why you think His way is perfect in each of these situations.

When someone is mean to you, God asks you respond by being how? Is God’s way better?

God asks you to think of others as more important than yourself. Why is this the right thing to do?

God asks you to obey your parents. Why is obeying your parents the right thing to do?

Day 4

If you had a math tutor to help you with your homework, you would want that person to teach you all the right ways to do your math problems. What if you went to a math tutor who gave you all the wrong ways to do your math problems and you made bad grades on all your tests? You wouldn’t listen to the bad tutor; if you did, you would fail math. Of course, you would choose the math tutor that gave you all the right ways to do your math problems so that you could do your best on the test. You would feel confident, learn, and be able to do math. God is righteous, and His ways are perfect. You can always trust Him to do things the right way and teach you the right way to live. When have you followed the wrong tutor? What happened? Can you remember a time when you followed the right tutor?

There was a king of Israel named Josiah, who became king of all of Israel at the age of 8. The Bible says in 2 Kings 22:2, that Josiah did right in the eyes of the Lord. If Josiah was young and did right in the eyes of the Lord, so can you.

Day 5Today, you will probably face many situations where you or someone else has to make a decision about right or wrong. You will experience it at home, school, and with your friends. You will even watch characters in movies or on television be challenged to make those decisions. Today, pay attention to actual situations around you or situations you see on a TV show. Stop and think what God would want you to do in those circumstances.

Read Daniel Chapter 1
Daniel and his friends are a great example of choosing to do what is right. They were in a situation where people were asking them to do something that God didn’t want them to do. They had to stand up for what is right.
