OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 

DATE: MONDAY 3RD OF JUNE, 2024

THEME: QUIET OR TALKATIVE?


MEMORISE: In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. Proverbs 10:19  


READ: Proverbs 17:27-28

[27]He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

[28]Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.


MESSAGE  

The memory verse for today implies that only a fool has a loose mouth. There is no swag in being talkative. James 1:19 says: 

*"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"*

There is also no strength in responding to everything. For instance, if you don't respond or take any action when someone insults you, you have already ridiculed the fellow, and you will have earned the respect of other people who heard the insult. In Isaiah 30:15, the Bible says, *"In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."*

My beloved child, you are not a fool for keeping quiet or walking away; rather, you are wise and strong. The less you respond when you are angered, the better for you.


ACTION POINT

You don't have to give a response to everything.


HYMN 3 - DRAW ME NEARER

1 I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise in the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.


CHORUS:

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side.


2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine. 


3 Oh, the pure delight of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend! 


4 There are depths of love that I cannot know

Till I cross the narrow sea;

There are heights of joy that I may not reach

Till I rest in peace with Thee
