Grow What’s Good!

“For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.” — Galatians 6:8 (NASB 1995)

You can’t grow apples from a candy seed! The Bible says when we do wrong things, it leads to bad stuff—but when we follow the Holy Spirit, it leads to life!

Let’s plant what makes Jesus smile.

Try This:
Ask your parent or teacher: “What’s one good thing I can grow today?”

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I want to grow what makes You happy. Help me do what’s right. Amen.

Say Thank You!

“The one who is taught the word is to share all good things with the one who teaches him.” — Galatians 6:6 (NASB 1995)

Who teaches you about Jesus? Maybe your parents, Sunday school teacher, or a kind neighbor.

God says we should share good things with the people who teach us! That could be a smile, a drawing, or kind words.

Try This:
Make a thank-you card for someone who teaches you God’s Word.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, thank You for the people who teach me about Jesus. Help me show kindness and share good things with them. Amen.

Carry Your Own Backpack

“For each one will bear his own load.” — Galatians 6:5 (NASB 1995)

Have you ever carried your own backpack to school? That’s your job—it belongs to you.

The Bible says each person should carry their own load. That means doing what we’re responsible for—like being kind, honest, and helpful.

The Holy Spirit helps us do our part.

Try This:
Do something today without being told—because it’s your job.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me carry my own load and do what I’m supposed to. I want to obey You. Amen.

Check Your Own Work

“But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting, but to himself alone, and not to another.” — Galatians 6:4 (NASB 1995)

Have you ever looked at someone else’s paper to see if you were doing it “right”?

God wants us to check our hearts—not copy others. The Holy Spirit helps us do what’s right, even when no one’s watching.

Try This:
Ask God to help you obey today, even when others aren’t looking.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me do the right thing because it makes You happy—not because others see it. Amen.

Don’t Be Too Proud

“For if anyone thinks that he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” — Galatians 6:3 (NASB 1995)

Sometimes we want to do everything ourselves and act like we don’t need help—but God says that’s not wise.

The Holy Spirit helps us remember we need Jesus, and we need others too!

Try This:
Ask someone for help today—even if you think you can do it alone.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, help me not be proud. I want to listen, ask for help, and learn from others. Amen.

Help Carry the Load

“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (NASB 1995)

Have you ever helped carry groceries? Or picked up something a friend dropped?

That’s what the Bible means when it says to “bear one another’s burdens.” The Holy Spirit helps us be kind when others are sad, hurt, or in need.

Try This:
Look for one way to help a friend or family member today.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, show me how to help others when they’re having a hard time. I want to be kind like Jesus. Amen.
