The New Covenant: Kid's Daily Devotional
5-Day Devotional: Living the New Covenant
Day 1: Blessed Are the Poor
Reading: Luke 6:20-26
Devotional: Jesus said that God blesses people who are poor, hungry, sad, or hurting. That may sound strange because the world usually thinks strong, rich, and successful people are the most important. But Jesus teaches us that when we know we need God, we learn to trust Him more.
Sometimes when life is easy, we forget how much we need God. But when we are struggling, we often pray more, trust more, and lean on Him more. God cares deeply for people who are hurting, and He promises to help them.
Think about this today: Are you trusting more in your stuff, your talents, or yourself than in God? Remember that God wants us to depend on Him every day because He is loving, kind, and always faithful.
Day 2: Love Your Enemies
Reading: Luke 6:27-31; Matthew 5:43-48
Devotional: Jesus told His followers to love their enemies. That means we should be kind even to people who are mean to us, leave us out, or hurt our feelings. Loving enemies is hard! Most people only want to be nice to people who are nice to them.
But Jesus loved people even when they rejected Him. He wants us to show the same kind of love because it shows others what God is like. God is kind to everyone, even people who make wrong choices.
Is there someone who has upset you lately? Pray for them today. Ask God to help you forgive them and show them kindness. When we love difficult people, God changes our hearts and helps us become more like Jesus.
Day 3: The Golden Rule
Reading: Luke 6:31-36; Philippians 2:1-11
Devotional: Jesus said, “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” This is called the Golden Rule. We all want people to be kind, patient, and forgiving with us, so we should treat others that same way.
Jesus showed us the perfect example. He served people, helped people, and loved people even when it was difficult. We can follow His example at school, at church, and at home.
Today, look for one way to practice the Golden Rule. Maybe you can include someone who feels left out, help a sibling without complaining, or encourage a friend who is sad. Small acts of kindness can show big love.
Day 4: Children of God
Reading: Luke 6:35-36; 1 John 4:7-21
Devotional: When we trust in Jesus, we become part of God’s family. That means we should try to act like our Heavenly Father. God is loving, merciful, and kind, so He wants His children to show those same qualities to others.
The early Christians helped poor people, cared for sick people, and showed love to people no one else cared about. They did this because they wanted others to see God’s love through them.
Ask God today to help you show His love to someone. Maybe you can share, encourage, help, or forgive someone. Every loving action points people to Jesus.
Day 5: Following Jesus Every Day
Reading: Luke 6:20-36; Hebrews 12:1-3
Devotional: Following Jesus is something we do every day for our whole lives. We will not always get everything right. Sometimes we fail to love others well or make selfish choices. But God is patient with us and keeps helping us grow.
Jesus perfectly obeyed God and showed love even when it was hard. When we keep our eyes on Him, He helps us become stronger in our faith little by little.
Don’t give up when following Jesus feels difficult. Keep trusting Him, praying, reading His Word, and loving others. Every step of obedience helps you grow more like Christ.
