This month, our character focus is Reverence. The operational definition of Reverence is “awareness of how God is working through the people and events in my life to produce the character of Christ in me.”


A Christian demonstrates reverence as he acts wisely and is careful not to dishonor the Lord’s name. He submits to authority, receives correction, graciously forgives others, and experiences peace because he knows that God is trustworthy and rules over all.


The opposite of reverence is disrespect. Disrespect is rooted in pride and exposes a disregard for God’s authority. When a person rejects God and His commands, he will fail to honor others. Disrespect exposes a heart that is fearful and seeking control, lacking the proper fear of the Lord.


Because an irreverent person is unwilling to humbly trust God, he fails to see how God is at work. He will not know peace until he submits to God and trusts Him with the people and situations in his life.

 

Interested in going deeper with Reverence?


Each booklet in the comprehensive children’s curriculum contains four complete lessons. A lesson is comprised of a Bible story and questions, a memory verse, and a craft or activity. The character quality is reinforced with a corresponding hymn history and sheet music, an overview of the character quality, and suggested resources for further study. Through this study, children are encouraged to trust, worship, and fear God as they see Him work through the people and circumstances in their lives.
