God is Trustworthy

Day 1

God is true, which means He is trustworthy. You don’t ever have to wonder if God will do what He says. He always does what is right and what He says is always true.
Be confident in God. He will take care of you and what He says is trustworthy.

Day 2 – Read Psalm 37:5 and write it down.

Memorize this verse today.

You start to trust someone or something as that person or thing keeps their promise. The Bible is full of promises. There are more than 3000 promises in the Bible and God has kept His word on every single promise. God has done way more than enough to gain our trust. There is no one more trustworthy than God. Do you believe God is trustworthy. 

Day 3

What has God done that makes you trust Him?
If you trust God, what should your life look like everyday?
If God is trustworthy, do you have any reason to be afraid?

Day 4Every day, you place your trust in things, and you don’t even realize you are doing it. More than likely, you are sitting in a chair right now and didn’t think twice about sitting in that chair. You know what it is, you know what it’s supposed to do, and you trust that it will hold you… so you sit. You may have been timid to sit in a chair when you were little, as you watched people sit in chairs, you learned that a chair meant to hold you. You began to trust the chair enough to sit. Sitting in a chair is a part of your everyday life. It’s a silly example, but our trust in God should be something we do every day. As you learn about Him, you will take steps of faith to trust Him. The more you trust Him, the more His ways will become who you are and what you do naturally.

Day 5

Grab a parent or an older family member. Ask them to stand behind you. Tell them you are going to lean back and ask them to catch you. This is a trust fall. Make sure you do this with a parent in a safe way and in a safe place! This would not be a good idea with a little brother or sister because they are not strong enough to catch you. Did you trust the person to catch you when you leaned back? Did you even think twice about it? Why or why not? How is this like trusting God?

God is Unchangeable

Day 1 – Read James 1:17

It seems like everything changes in life. People change, seasons change, popularity changes, and technology changes. These are just a few examples of how the world is always changing. God never changes. He doesn’t change His mind, and He doesn’t change who He is. You can rely on Him forever.

Day 2 – Read James 1:17Write it below. Think about and memorize this verse today.

Day 3

Make a list of everything that has changed in your life. Why is change hard? 
You can trust that God will never change. How does that help you be confident in God?

Day 4

The Bible is a great illustration of how God never changes. The Bible was written thousands of years ago, and it has never changed. Not one word has been added to the Bible since God finished writing it. It has survived thousands of generations without one sentence or one word changing. It might be written in different translations so everyone can read it, but the meaning of the words and the events that happened have never changed.

Day 5

Sometime this week or weekend, ask someone who is older, like your parents or grandparents, to share with you how the town they grew up in has changed. Ask them how they have seen the world change. It will be fun to learn about the changes, but it can also make you thankful that God never changes.

DID YOU KNOW…

Did you know the first text message was sent more than a decade ago? It didn’t become popular until years later, but today, the number of text messages sent every day is bigger than the number of people living in the world.

Did you know that the world has been around for about 7,000 years, and the television has only been around for less than 100 years?

Did you know Facebook is less than 10 years old?

The world is changing every day. The way we travel, communicate, and do the things we do, change. Through it all, God will always be the same.

God is Victorious

Day 1 – Read John 3:16

God is victorious. If you are on His team, He has made you victorious. There is nothing that can separate you from Him. There is no power that can defeat God, and in Him, there is nothing that can defeat you. You might experience hard times in your life, but those are temporary because God has won, and you get to be with Him forever. One day, when you are with Him forever, you won’t have to experience hard things.

Day 2 – Read Romans 8:37 and write it Memorize this verse today.

Day 3

What does it mean to conquer something?

God tells you that, in Jesus, you can conquer anything. How can that help you in any situation?

Day 4Super hero movies are the most popular movies these days. The characters we love like Spiderman, Ironman, Thor, Captain America, and Batman have been around for many years. Everyone loves a good super hero because no one can defeat them. They might get hurt, and experience tough times, but in the end they always win. In Christ, the same is true for you. Jesus defeated death and evil by dying on the cross and rising from the dead. Evil can’t win. If you are on His side, you are more than a conqueror… you are a super hero from Him. Life might be tough, but He has given you His power, and you will be victorious, too.

Day 5

Watch a fun super hero movie or read a book about a real life super hero today. Be reminded that God is victorious and because He has defeated evil, you are a super hero too.

DIG DEEPER

Read 1 Samuel 17:1-53

Today, read the story of David and Goliath. You get to see a real life super hero that God used to defeat His enemy. David was young, and no one thought he could defeat the giant. But with God, he could do anything. The same is true for you.
