Kids Devotion - Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

1. Watch the Doug episode.
2. Doug trivia - What is Doug's sister's name?
3. Read the following passage ; http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Dan%204:24-32&version=NIV1984. (Dan 4:24-32)
4. What was the sin Nebuchudnezzer was committing in this passage?
5. What was the sin Doug would have been committing if he continued to take credit for "his" painting?
6. What was the punishment that king Nebuchudnezzer received? Read http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%204:33,34&version=NIV1984 (Dan 4:33,34)
  Why do you think God punished him in this way? How did he get relief from his punishment?
7. What punishment would Doug have received if he continued to take credit?
8. What did Doug give up by saying he didn't do the painting?

Note to parents; Kids need to be careful about taking credit where credit is not due. Everything they have is from the Lord and if they take the credit God will have to bring them to a point of humility where they give the glory to Him. Also another point to bring out is the importance of honesty even if it is not easy to do and even if they can somehow rationalize the half-truths. Any intent to deceive is a lie and kids need to stay honest at all times because this pleases the Lord.
