MAY 2, Proverbs 1:1-7; Genesis 4:1-5

Cain and Abel were two sons of Adam and Eve. One day, Cain came to worship God by offering some fruits and grains. Abel brought sheep and cattle to give to the Lord. Cain’s gift was rejected but his brother’s was accepted. This is because God only accepts offerings from those who obeyed Him. Abel had the fear of the Lord when he gave God the sheep and cattle for that was the way God’s people were told to worship. Cain did not care. He had no fear of the Lord, did things his way, and so he disobeyed God.

To come to God with great respect and worship is to fear the Lord for He is the all-knowing and all-powerful God.

Cross out the other offering that God did not accept.

Thought: Those who truly know the true God have great reverence for Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to know more of Thy power and love. Help me to worship You in the correct way, by keeping quiet and paying attention during Junior Worship and other Christian children programmes. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
