Can you believe the cupbearer forgot? Maybe you know what it's like to be forgotten- to really deserve an award or position but to be passed over like you didn't even matter. And if you prayed and asked God for the prize, you might think God forgot about you too. God didn't forget about Joseph. God just had a different plan- a bigger and better plan that needed time to develop. Don't ever feel like God has forgotten you. His plan may just be different than yours, and it involves waiting. Wait on God, and you'll see his excellent plan unfold.

Do you forgive from the heart?
For you, does forgiveness mean forgiving and forgetting? Or do you claim to forgive yet still hold a grudge? God promised to forgive the sin of Job's well-meaning but totally wrong friends. He didn't plan on reminding them about their sin later. Forgiveness is just like God says- it's not treating someone as he/she deserves. It also means wiping the slate completely clean. Is there someone who needs your forgiveness? How willing are you to totally forgive from the heart? Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you.

Like an old owl once said...
We often associate wisdom with old age, like the wise old owl and the wizened, white-haired professor. We make the mistake of thinking that we can't really be wise till we're way older. While it's true that wisdom often comes from experience, we can also become wise by doing several things: accepting advice from parents and the other adults we trust, following God's commands and actively seeking wisdom. The Lord promises to give wisdom to those who go after it. Got wisdom? Proverbs 2: 1-9 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2 Turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, 3 and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7 He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. 9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair-every good path.

Do you have courage?
Are you willing to stand for what's right-even if no one else will? When King Ahab asked King Jehoshaphat to join him in war, Jehoshaphat wanted to ask God for advice. So Ahab called for the prophets, all 401 of them. while the 400 false prophets advised the king to go, only one-Micaiah-said no. Micaiah was brave enough to speak the truth when everyone else was telling Ahab what he wanted to hear. Resisting the urge to follow the crowd takes courage. Do you have courage? 1 kings 22:1-28

Genuine Security
Most girls grow up knowing that their moms love them deeply. Even if she doesn't always show it, well, your mom loves you- that's what moms are meant to do. And even if she gets caught up in her job or her own issues, she's still thinking about you- she never forgets you. God loves you! Even if your mom were to forget you- God NEVER does. You can find security knowing God thinks of you constantly and loves you deeply. And if you have a mom who left you or failed you, then you know that God NEVER will. Some or you girls may have issues with your moms but we are to respect and honor them because they are our mothers. I have issues with my mom a lot and I try my hardest to respect and honor her even in the hardest times, yes we are human and we make mistakes but its how we go about fixing them that really matters.
Isaiah 49:15-16 15"Can a mother forget a baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! 16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.

Be beautiful inside and out!
Okay, so we know that Rebekah was "very beautiful." But that's not all we learn about her. The next two words tell us she was a virgin. Obviously this was important, or we wouldn't have been told that little fact. We also see that Rebekah had a servant's heart, going out of her way to help a weary traveler. And that's what caught the attention of Abraham's servant. After all, good-looking girls are everywhere. Far more rare are girls of stunning inner beauty- found in attitudes of self-control (maintaining purity) and service to others. These qualities make you "very beautiful" indeed. Psalms 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

God Gives Us Courage!
If the king noticed any Hebrew boys running around, he'd know who to blame. He gave direct orders to Shiphrah and puah to kill the boys. But these gusty midwives chose to disobey the king in order to do what was right. That's serious courage! When have you had to take a stand for what's right, regardless of the consequences? Maybe you refused to cheat on a test or to smoke a joint- even though everyone else is doing it. God makes no guarantees that doing what's right is easy. But it will have results way beyond what you can imagine. Stand up against a bully at school who's picking on the school nerd or your friend. Stand up when people or friends tell you to do drugs, trust me guys I know its hard and even harder when its your friends but when you stand up God will repay you. Stand up for what's right! - Michaela
