CONNECT 20

    Tuesday

    INTRO

    We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.


    Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.


    As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.


    Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

    SCRIPTURE

    In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter.

    - Daniel 7:1



    DEVOTIONAL

    Have you ever watched a child learn to swim? At first, they cling desperately to the pool's edge, afraid to let go. But gradually, with patient instruction and practice, they develop the skills to navigate the water confidently. This is exactly what our children need for the cultural waters they're swimming in every day. The reality is sobering: our kids are growing up in a world where previous generations visited the digital space, but our children live there. They're being shaped by algorithms, exposed to content we never imagined, and facing pressures that didn't exist when we were young. The temptation is to panic, to try to pull them completely out of the water. But that's not realistic or helpful. Instead, we need to become swimming instructors. This means teaching our children how to think critically about what they see and hear. It means having ongoing conversations about values, helping them develop discernment, and giving them tools to navigate difficult situations. When they encounter something confusing or harmful online, they should know they can come to you without fear of judgment. The goal isn't to shelter them from every wave but to equip them with the skills to swim strong. This requires intentionality from us as parents. We can't assume they'll figure it out on their own. Just as swimming lessons require regular practice and guidance, spiritual and moral development needs our consistent, patient investment.

    PRAY

    Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

    SHARE

    After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

    *Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!


    Memory Verse

    If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    -1 John 1:9
