Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes

Picture books that point to truth:

Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. Matthew 7:7 (New Living Translation)

“In all our frantic searching & scrambling, we’re seeking Jesus. In all our wandering & running, we’re yearning to find someone truly worth following. In our most earnest life pursuits, He’s the one we’re looking for even when we don’t have a clue.” ~Beth Moore

In Kitten’s First Full Moon, an adventurous kitten, who thinks she sees a full bowl of milk in the sky, travels all over to find the milk, only to find that the only real bowl of milk is at home on her own porch. Kitten thinks she knows where she’s going, and she thinks she knows what she’s looking for. And she does keep on searching until she finds the real thing.

My prayer for today is that we will keep on seeking until we look in the right place for the only source of truth and beauty and nourishment, Jesus.
