This is a blog that I have created for my 5 grandchildren. I have a daily Scripture verse or two along with comments and questions. Hope this encourages young people to read in their Bible every day and to meditate on God's Word.

Read proverbs 14:15 When someone tells you something, do you
believe them? I usually do, but sometimes I get suckered in. Some people believe anything that someone else tells them. Solomon calls them simple and they can easily be led
astray. They believe anything that
someone tells them. When I was in the
first grade, I had a friend who told me that he was a bird expert. He told me that he could get me any kind of
bird that I wanted. But he was only a
first grader. I was suckered in. I believed him. He was just telling me a whopper of a lie to make
himself look good. So I told him to
bring me a peacock. The next day, he
said that he hadn’t found on just yet.
Each day I asked him if he had my peacock. He had an excuse every day. He said that he had come across a whole flock
of peacocks and had run in to catch one, but had stumbled and they all got
away. I kept on believing him even
though he never brought me a peacock to school.
I learned from that experience.
Was Toby in the first grade a bird expert? No, he wasn’t. I should not have believed him. You should only believe someone if they are
trustworthy. You should only believe
someone if they are old enough to know what they are talking about. And lastly, you should only believe someone
if they have knowledge in the topic that they are talking about. Should you trust someone who is ten years old
when they talk about driving a car? Why
not? Should you trust a poor man when he
tells you how to get rich? Why not? Should you trust someone when they tell you
how to get to heaven? Why or why
not? When someone tells you something, stop
and think! Do they know what they are
talking about? Can you trust them? Should
you trust them? Who are some people that
you can trust? Who are some people who
you cannot trust? Can you trust God? Why?
