1/1

Day III DevotionStay Close to Jesus

1 Peter 5:8

Path to Victory Where the camp name came from: Read I Corinthians 15:57What does this passage mean to you?

Explain story of person at the zoo who hears over loud speaker that there is a

hungry lion loose.

- There is no one around, what would you do?

- Suddenly you see the big zookeeper (who has a tranquilizer gun, and a net),

would you run off on your own to find your way to safety or would you

stay close to the only one who could help you?

Read I Peter 5:8

- How is this verse similar to the story I just told about the zoo?

- What is the devil like? How is he like a lion? Who is the real zookeeper

who can keep us safe?

- How can you stay close to Him? (Go to church, Sunday School, VBS, read

Bible, etc.)

- How can you thank Him? (Following His commands, worshipping him,

TELLING OTHERS!)

-

Prayer

Thank you for always loving us and for sending Your Son Jesus to die for us.

Thank you for always keeping us safe just as a zookeeper from the devil.

Help us to always stay close to you through the study of your word.

Forgive us for all the times we dont live our lives in thankfulness to you.

Allow the Holy Spirit to continue to work in our hearts and have our faith

grow.

Let the cross always remind us of how much You love us and make us willing

to share the Good News of Jesus with others. Amen
