September 19th: How to Get Wiser Every Day | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus

Hey Carpool Crew! 🚗 Whether you're wondering if you remembered your homework or still thinking about yesterday’s conversation, I’m Pastor Justin—and I’m so glad you're here.

We’re wrapping up another great episode in our series:
Proverbs for Your School Life — daily wisdom from God's Word to help kids make real-life decisions at school, with friends, and at home.

📖 Proverbs 19:20 (CSB)
👉 “Listen to counsel and receive instruction so that you may be wise later in life.”

💡 What does this mean?
Solomon reminds us that wisdom is built—not born.
You don’t just wake up wise. You grow into it—and it starts with being teachable and willing to listen.

Even Jesus, as a young boy, grew in wisdom by listening to His parents and learning in the temple. If Jesus listened and learned, we should too!

✅ In this episode, kids will learn:

• Why wisdom starts with listening

• How to handle correction—even when it’s hard

• Why your response to feedback shapes your future

• That asking for advice isn’t weakness—it’s the beginning of growth

🏫 Real-life example:
Your coach or parent corrects how you do a drill or assignment. You’ve always done it your way.
Do you ignore them? Or do you listen and get better?
💡 That’s Proverbs 19:20 in action.

📘 Application for Today:

1. When someone corrects you, don’t tune them out. Lean in and learn.

2. Ask an adult you trust for advice this week. Even about something small!

3. Remember: Listening now = wisdom later. It all adds up!

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip:
Ask your kids:
“What’s one piece of advice or instruction you’ve been given lately—and how did you respond?”
If this episode encouraged your family, share it with a friend or post about it to help more families discover Carpooling with Jesus.
