Responsibility INTRODUCTION
H
ave you ever wanted your parents to give
you something, only to hear, “Maybe when you are older”? Perhaps you dreamed of owning a pet or using your dad’s tools. With every new privilege comes greater responsibility. Even as a child, you are responsible for how you interact with others, care for your possessions, and fulfill your tasks. Proverbs 20:11 says, “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.” You may not see great value in taking out the trash or washing dishes, but consistent dependability in everyday tasks will win the trust of your authorities. They will then be ready to give you greater responsibilities and privileges. As you faithfully complete little tasks, keep in mind that God is preparing you for greater ones!
