Deuteronomy 1:39
“Moreover your little ones and your children, who today have no knowledge of good and evil, they shall go in there; to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.”
Closing Challenge
The God who spared the children of Israel in the wilderness is the same God who welcomed little children into His arms. This week, remember that God’s justice is perfect, His mercy is abundant, and His salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. Trust His heart, trust His Word, and trust His care for every child.
