September 21st: God Sees Your Heart | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus
Hey Carpool Crew! 🚌
Maybe you're arguing over the last donut or reflecting on something you did this week—whatever the moment, I’m Pastor Justin and I’m so glad you’re here.
Today’s wisdom from Proverbs reminds us of something BIG:
You might think you're right… but God sees your heart. 💡
Today’s Verse – Proverbs 21:2 (CSB):
👉 "All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs hearts."
🧠What It Means for Kids:
Sometimes we do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
Sometimes we say, “I didn’t do anything wrong!” but deep down… we know we didn’t do what was right either.
God doesn’t just look at what you do—He looks at why you do it.
This verse reminds us that our actions matter—but our motives matter even more.
💬 If Jesus Were in the Car With You…
He might say, “I know your heart. Let’s talk about what’s really going on.”
Not to shame you—but to help you grow.
Whether you're trying to impress others, avoid trouble, or just feel justified in an argument—Jesus wants to meet you in that moment and help you choose what’s truly right.
🧰 Real-Life Application:
🫶 Ask God for a heart check.
Don’t just ask if your actions are “okay.” Ask if your heart is in the right place.
❓ Ask: “Does this line up with what God says is right?”
Not just what feels right—but what’s right in God’s eyes.
đź’ˇ Be honest with yourself and others.
Taking feedback, apologizing, and choosing humility are signs of a wise heart.
🧍‍♂️👧 Discussion Question:
When’s a time you thought you were right, but later realized your heart wasn’t in the right place?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parent Action Step:
Share this episode with a parent friend or post a story on Instagram and tag us @carpoolingwithjesus.
Help other families discover simple, powerful Bible truth for the car ride or breakfast table.
