Category: Month 6

Day 1 – Read 1 Timothy 1:17The world says that there are many gods. The Bible says that God is the only God and none of the others are true. He has proven He is the one and only in the Bible and He proves it every day. Do you believe that God is the one and only God? Why?

Day 2 – Read 1 Timothy 1:17

Write out the verse. Memorize this verse today.

The Secret Service agents don’t have to study all the different kinds of fake money. They spend their time studying and knowing the characteristic of the real dollar so they can spot any type of fake dollar. Spend your time knowing God, and you will be able to spot anything or anyone that claims to be God or claims to have value and know they are not the real thing.

Day 3If God is the one and only God, then how special is He?

Should anything else be more important than God?

Day 4

The Secret Service is a group whose job is to protect the President and all of the important American government officials. Did you know that the Secret Service has one other task? Most Secret Service agents spend all their time making sure American money is not fake. The agents work very hard to make sure the money we use is real and not counterfeit. A counterfeit dollar is not worth anything. It might look good, but it can’t buy you anything because it has no value. There are things about a real dollar bill’s paper, the way it’s printed, and even the stuff inside the paper that show that it’s real.

People who make fake money can get pretty good at making it look real, but there is no way for them to recreate the real thing. Only the American treasury has the ability to make a real dollar bill. Ask your mom if you can put a dollar bill in your Bible next to 1 Timothy 1:17. Just like there can only be one true dollar, there is only one true God.

Let the dollar remind you He is the only real God who holds true value.

Day 5

Look back through your book and see all the things you have learned about God through your ABC’s. What have you learned that proves that God is the one and only God? Write your thoughts down.

 

 

Day 1 – Read Psalm 145:18It is easy to think that God is far away, but He promises that He is near. He is close, and no matter where you are, you can talk to Him any time.

Day 2 –Read Psalm 145:18

Write it down. Memorize this verse today.

Day 3

There are billions of people in the world that God could listen to everyday, but He promises that He is near if you call on Him. How special does that make you feel?

I PROMISE YOU

Jeremiah 33:3 says that God gives us a HUGE promise. God says that if we call Him, He will answer and tell us things that we don’t know. God wants you to know Him, so He is right there waiting for you to ask Him.

Day 4

 The most important thing we have in our relationship with Jesus is that we can talk to Him any time. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to never stop praying to God. Could you imagine how close God would feel if you never stopped praying? This doesn’t mean you have to be on your knees praying every moment of every day. You can talk to God when you are driving to school. You can thank Him when something happens. You can ask Him questions, and even ask Him for help right when you need it. You can also think about Him as you go through your day. Write down other ways you can talk to God throughout the day.

Day 5You can talk to God right now. He is near so spend some time praying to God today. He wants to hear how life is going. He wants you to ask Him for help. He wants to listen to you today.

God is the ONE AND ONLY

Day 5

Look back through your book and see all the things you have learned about God through your ABC’s. What have you learned that proves that God is the one and only God? Write your thoughts down.

Day 1 – Read 2 Peter 3:9

God is always patient. His heart breaks when you sin and do bad things, but He never gives up on you. He wants to have a relationship with you forever.

Day 2 – Read 2 Peter 3:9

Write it down and memorize it.

Day 3 – Read 1 Timothy 1:16It says that God has unlimited patience for you. No matter what you mess up, all you have to do is turn to Him, and He will be there with open arms.
How has God been patient with you?
Thank God for all the ways He has been patient with you.

Give it a try!

God is patient so you should be patient. You can start by being patient with God. God has perfect timing, but it’s not always when you want it to happen. Is there anything you are waiting for God to do? What can you do to be more patient?

Day 4There is a story in the Bible about a father and a son. The son wanted to leave and live the way he wanted to, so he left. The son lived a hurtful life and found himself with nothing. He couldn’t even eat. He decided to go back to his dad for help but was worried that he wouldn’t call him his son anymore. The dad had been patiently waiting for his son to return home and threw a party in his honor when he came home. You can read this story in Luke 15:11-32. How is the father an example of God’s patience for you?

Day 5

God is patiently waiting for you to make your relationship with him the most important thing in your life. How can He become #1 in your life? Think about how you can change your life around to make him #1.

Day 1 – Read Matthew 6:31-34

God tells you in the Bible, that you don’t have to worry about what you need because He promises to provide you everything you need. Look around you. Do you have shelter over you every night? Do you have food on the table every meal? Do you have a closet full of clothes? If you have any of these things, then you have a lot more than many people in the world. God provides for your needs so you don’t have to worry.

Day 2 – Read Matthew 6:31-34Write it down three times. Put one copy by your closet, another by your refrigerator, and one by the door you walk into your house the most. It’s a good daily reminder that God provides for your needs. Memorize verse 33 or 34.

Day 3

Sometimes, we confuse what we want for what we really need. God promises to take care of what you need.

Sometimes, we don’t get everything we want. You can pray for something, and you may or may not get it. God is wise enough to know exactly what you need and what you don’t.

Have you ever gone a day without somewhere to live?

Have you ever gone a full day without any food to eat?

Write down all the things you need that God has provided for you daily?

Spend some time thanking Him.

DID YOU KNOW…660 million people in the world live off of less than $2 a day. 385 million people live off of less than $1 a day. If your family had $1 a day to live on, one of you could eat one meal from a fast food menu and everyone else wouldn’t eat. You would not have any money left over for clothes, a place to live, or anything else you need. You couldn’t go to the doctor when you get sick. Does this make you thankful for what you have? Think of ways you can help people in need. Do you realize that you can show someone in need that God is our provider? Help someone, and when they say “thank you,” tell them it was God, not you.

Day 4

A few months ago, you read about the true story in the Bible where God saved His people from the Egyptians by parting the Red Sea. Today, you are going to learn what happened after they crossed the Red Sea. When God’s people left Egypt, they had to go quickly. God’s people didn’t have much of anything to take with them, but because of time, they couldn’t even take the little they had. They were in the desert with no food and no way to get food. They cried out to God and look what God did. Read Exodus 16:9-17. How did God provide for His people?
Do you think He will do the same for you?

Day 5

Do you know that God can use you to provide for someone in need? How can you help someone in need today? How can you give someone clothes, food, or even encouragement?
