“and say: `What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among them and reared her cubs.”

Daily Bread
1) The role of mentorship in spiritual growth.
Ezekiel’s lament for the lost princes of Judah shows the importance of mentorship in developing leaders. Just like a lioness trains her cubs, the church is called to nurture and mentor young believers, helping them grow into spiritual leaders. This process is important for personal growth and for strengthening the entire community. Look for mentorship opportunities within your church. Connect with experienced believers who can help you grow in your faith. If you’re further along in your spiritual journey, consider mentoring someone who is just starting. Share your experiences, pray with them, and help them face life's challenges with God’s wisdom and grace.

2) Preventing leaving the spiritual faith.
The exile of Judah’s leaders warns us about the dangers of drifting away from our faith and losing a generation to cultural pressures. The church needs to actively engage young people by offering not just knowledge but real support to help them grow in their faith. Take charge of your spiritual life to avoid losing your way. Get involved in Bible studies, church activities, and build relationships with others in Christ to strengthen your faith. Challenge yourself to apply what you learn from the Bible to your daily choices and actions. By doing this, you help create a strong community that can resist outside pressures and temptations.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the young leaders You are raising up in Your church. Equip us to be mentors and disciples who nurture and strengthen the faith of the next generation. May our church be like a lioness, preparing young spiritual warriors to stand firm and make a difference in their world. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

One Word: Build up leaders for the next generation!
