Starting today I will…

Try harder to pay attention during my Bible class and during the sermon. I realize that my Bible class teachers and the preacher have worked hard to prepare lessons to help me grow closer to God and to be a better person. I also realize that God’s word is able to make me wise so that I can make good decisions and live the best possible life on earth. I also know that by learning God’s word I will be able to obey Him and have eternal salvation (2 Timothy 3:15).

I will not play or write notes to friends during class or the sermon. I will tell my friends that I am trying to pay attention to the teacher or preacher and encourage them to do the same. If they play so much that I cannot listen, I will find another place to sit and play with my friends later.

I will turn to the Bible verses during the class and sermon. I may take notes on what the preacher says so that I can remember what was taught because I know I will need it in the future. I will honor God by listening.
