The teen devo tonight will be hosted by the Davenports.

“Trust in the LORD with all your

heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways

acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD

and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits

of all your crops;…” Proverbs 3: 5-9
