If you attempted either of last week's tips, how did it go? Which did you do, or did you try both? Do you think you did them successfully this week?
Here are two more to inspire you this week.
1. Dress modestly.
This especially applies to girls, but it can be for boys too. Start making an effort to be sure that your clothes would be pleasing to the Lord. People will notice this more than anything else and it could give you a chance to witness to teachers or peers!
- Go through all of your clothes. Try them on if necessary. Get rid of anything that is too short, tight, low-cut, loud, or anything else you find immodest.
- Every time you get dressed, ask yourself "Is this something I would wear if I was going to lunch with Jesus?" If not, maybe it's time for you to reconsider your outfit!
- Girls, I have more tips here, here, and here.
2. Start memorizing Scripture regularly.
This is one of the most important things you can for yourself. If you have God's word hidden in your heart, it won't matter if you have a Bible with you or not. When you have a low moment, you will be able to comfort yourself with the Word.
It doesn't matter how you go about it as long as you find a method that works for you. Try writing it on sticky notes and posting them around your room, repeating the passage over and over until it's ingrained in your memory, or making up a song to remember it. If you're really ambitious, you could even memorize a whole book of the Bible! (Start with a shorter one, like 2 John or Jude). Check out this article for more tips.
Good luck this week!
What do you think? Do you do these things already? Will you try these tips this week?
