Family Devotional Guide – February 28

Becky Doubleday   -   February 28, 2021

If you want to have fun with today’s discussion, get out a flashlight and read it in the dark by flashlight.  When is the last time you sang “This Little Light of Mine”? One of the verses says “Hide it under a bushel. NO! I’m gonna let it shine.” If you have younger children, take some time and sing the song together. Even if you don’t, I’m guessing you might be humming it now.

Take a few minutes and read Matthew 5:14-16 and discuss these questions: 

1. What are good works?
2. When people see your good works, what should the result be?
3. When is a time someone surprised you and did a “good work” for you? How did it make you feel?

Now it’s time to take action! 

1. As a family, share ideas for a way you can surprise someone with a “good work” this week. Then, make a plan and do it!
2. Write “Live out what God’s Word says!” on a notecard and put it somewhere in your house or car that you will see every day as a reminder.
