February 14, 2024 – God Only Makes Originals
Proverbs 22:6
Sermon: 1501 Raising Young Champions, Part 2

Pray Over This

“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6

Ponder This

God never makes copies; He only makes originals. And every one of us has those little idiosyncrasies and things that God has put into us. Your child comes with a certain collection of genes, talents, and abilities that can grow into spiritual gifts. You are wise as a parent if you look at that child and see the way he or she should go.

If you tried to bend the trunk of a mighty oak, you couldn’t do it. But if you take the mighty oak when it’s just starting as a little branch or twig, you can bend it. That’s what God is saying, “There is a way the child should go.” We must train them while they are young, and we need to study them as individuals. Children are different. God has wired them differently and gifted them all in different ways to be used for His glory.

• What are some ways you were trained as a child? How did that help you?
• How has God uniquely wired you? Who was an adult that understood your unique qualities?

Practice This

Think about those you know in the next generation. What are some gifts they have that are unique? Spend some time getting to know how God uniquely wired them.
