Day 1 – THE STORY
You may know or have heard about Abraham before; but his name was “Abram” before God changed his name to Abraham. God made some big promises to Abram. Investigate what God promised Abram and if Abram believed in them.
Read Genesis 12:1-5
What did God tell Abram to do? What did God promise Abram He would do?
Did Abram do it?
Day 2 – THE WITNESSES
God asked Abram to leave the place that he was used to living because God had a plan. God sometimes asks us to do things that take us away from where we are comfortable.
Read Hebrews 11:8
Did Abram know where he was going?
Why does this verse say that he left?
Do you have faith in God to do what He asks, even when you don’t understand why He asks you to do it?
Day 3 – THE SOURCE
Abram believed God could do great things. Today you are going to investigate if that is true.
Read Ephesians 3:20
Have you seen God do great things – things greater than what you can imagine? Write some down.
Go outside and look at God’s creation and list all those great things He has created.
Just like God promised Abram, He promises you that He can do things you couldn’t even imagine! Do you trust Him enough to obey Him, even when you don’t understand?
I PROMISE YOU…
Just like God promised Abram some great things, He makes thousands of promises to you in the pages of the Bible. Here are a few of them.
He loves you… 1 John 3:1
He is with you… Zephaniah 3:17
He won’t leave you… Deuteronomy 31:6
He cares for you… 1 Peter 5:7
He will provide for you… Philippians 4:19
Day 4 – THE MOTIVE
Abram valued God more than he valued his things or his home.
You need the right motive to be like Abram.
Read Colossians 3:2
Is there anything you think is more important to God?
How can you make God more important than things on earth?
Day 5 – CAUGHT IN THE ACT
This will be a hard challenge this week, but you can do it with God’s help. Think of something that is important to you and give it up for God. Here are some ideas
Take your favorite toy (not the toy you don’t play with anymore, your favorite toy) and give it to someone who doesn’t have one.
Go play with someone during recess who doesn’t have many friends.
Give your allowance to someone or a charity that needs the money.
