November 12th: Thankful for School | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
Hey Carpool Crew, it’s Pastor Justin — and today we’re talking about something that’s a huge part of your life: school! Some mornings it’s exciting, and other mornings… well, you’d rather stay in bed. But here’s the truth: school isn’t just about grades or homework — it’s one of the ways God helps you grow.
In Luke 2:52, the Bible says, “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.” That means even Jesus — the Son of God — went to school! He learned scripture, listened to teachers, asked questions, and practiced skills like carpentry from His father, Joseph. Jesus understands what it’s like to learn, to try hard, and to grow.
When you’re studying, sitting in class, or learning something new — even when it’s hard — God is shaping your heart and mind. He’s teaching you how to think, how to be kind, and how to live with purpose. So, whether you’re solving math problems, writing stories, or learning how to be a good teammate, remember: every bit of learning is a chance to worship God.
In this episode, we’ll talk about how to find joy and thankfulness in school — from your favorite subjects to the teachers and friends who make your day better.
Before you go, talk about this together: What’s one thing about school you can thank God for today, and how can you make the most of the rest of your week?
And remember, no matter where you are or how you’re listening, God loves you.
