GOD GIVES YOU YOUR STRENGTHS
Read James 1:17
What comes from above? Who lives in heaven above? Where do good gifts come from? Everything good about you is from God. He knows your value because He has given your value! Write down 5 things that you are good at and thank God for giving you those good gifts today.DID YOU KNOW?
God uses the analogy of a human body to help explain how all of His followers’ gifts fit together. A human body is created to work together. The arms need the eyes, the eyes need the brain and the brain needs the heart. Every organ in the body does a specific task, but when they all work together it makes a human body work best. Nothing on a human body would work without a head and the Bible says that Jesus is the head of His body of believers. Just like the human body, Jesus’ followers can’t function without Him. As He guides them to do their task well and work together, His people can reach their greatest potential!
GOD GIVES YOU GIFTS
Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-6
Does everyone have the same gifts? Who gives the gifts? Even though different people have different gifts, who is the one at work? Did you know that God created you with gifts? Another word for these gifts are called strengths. When God made you, He created you with specific things you are good at. The Holy Spirit makes those strengths work inside of you. Some people have the gift of teaching others. Some people have the gift of leading others. Some have the gift of giving to others. You may be young, but God already knows what you are good at. You get to put your eyes on Him and He will show you what you are good at as you grow. What are ways you can look to God to see what you are good at? If God created your strengths, do you think what He says is important for your life?
GOD KNOWS YOUR WEAKNESSES
Read 2 Corinthians 12:9
What does God give you to help you when you are weak? What power can you use when you are weak? God knows that you are not perfect. He also knows life on earth can bring tough challenges. He knows, because you are human, that there will be times when you are weak. He is there for you and will give you His strength when you are weak. If you believe in Jesus, you always have access to His strength and He will be there when you need Him. If God knows your weakness then who should you look to for strength? Has God ever given you strength when you were weak? Write about it below. If not, ask an adult about a time when God gave them strength when they were weak.
GOD HELPS YOU AVOID YOUR WEAKNESSES
Read 1 Corinthians 10:13
Does God give you any temptation that you cannot handle? What will God do for you when you are tempted? God knows you so well that He knows what you can handle. He values you so much, He promises that He will never let anything or anyone tempt you more than you can handle. With any situation that tempts you to do something wrong, you can stare up and say “Because of God, I can handle this.” God also knows what you are going through in every tempting situation, He will give you a way to avoid it. He knows how to fight every temptation you will face. Who should you look to when you are tempted to do something wrong? What are some ways God has (or can) help you to avoid temptation?
