Wonderfully Made

Psalm 139:14

Our true story is found in the part, or book, of the Bible called Psalms.

God made each and every one of us wonderfully special in our own way. And there is no one exactly like you. All of us are wonderfully made.


You may have curly hair. Or straight hair. Or you may have really long hair. So many different kinds of hair. God made them all wonderful!


But God didn’t stop with hair. He made some of us with light skin, blue eyes, and freckles. God gave some of us dark hair and green eyes. Or dark skin, brown eyes, and curly hair. All wonderful!


God made each and every one of us! He made us with curly hair, straight hair, and in between hair! He made us with green eyes, brown eyes, and blue eyes, too! God made all of us special—we are ALL wonderfully made! So, remember, God made you. And you are wonderfully made!



Bible Paraphrase: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. – Psalm 139:14, NIV

Text Truth: I am wonderfully made.

Family Devotional

Our Bible story was about something very, very special God made. You!
I am fearfully and wonderfully made. – Psalm 139:14, NIV

 God made our eyes to see, ears to hear, arms to hug, and brains to think. He made all of us, and He did an awesome job!

 With you family, make a list. Think about your body, and pick one thing you want to thank God for making. Maybe it’s your mouth so you can eat yummy food or your voice so you can sing songs or your curly hair or your freckles or the way you laugh. Have each family member add their favorite thing to the list.

 Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. Acknowledge that God made the whole world. Thank God for making (say the name of every family member). Acknowledge that they are special. Thank God for your family's favorite things that God made. Read through your list and note each family member with each favorite thing. Ask God to help you never forget how special you are because God made you.

The Early Christians Shared Everything

Image
Acts 4:32-37 Our story comes from a book of the Bible called Acts. That name is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” The word "Apostle" is another word to describe a helper of Jesus. Our Bible story tells us about some people who loved Jesus. The people were gathered together in a room. Buzz, buzz, buzz. The room filled with talking and laughter. The people called themselves Christians because they did what Jesus Christ said to do (Christian means "follower of Christ"). The Christians knew that Jesus was God’s Son. They wanted others to know about Jesus, too. Grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads, and children met together in homes. They would pray, sing, and learn about Jesus together. All these people loved Jesus. They were like one big, happy family. Because they loved Jesus, the Christians happily shared what they had more than others. Everything a person had was happily shared with the rest of the Bible-time Christians. They shared food so every

Genesis 12:1-9 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." A man and woman lived in a land called Ur. The man was named Abram and the woman was named Sarai. Abram and Sarai were husband and wife. God called Abram and Sarai and gave them new names! Abram means “nobel father.” But God changed his name to “Abraham,” which means “father of many.” Sarai” means “princess.” But God changed her name to “Sarah,” which means “mother of nations.” Now they were Abraham and Sarah, "father of many" and "mother of nations!" Abraham grew up in the land called Ur. When he was grown, Abraham moved with his family to a new land called Haran. But then, in the land of Haran, God appeared to Abraham and told him to leave his country. God told Abraham to move to a new land. God promised to be with Abraham and show him where to go. God also promised to give Abraham children, grandchildren, and many g

Isaac Did Not Fight

Genesis 26:12-25 Take-Home Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about a man named Isaac. God gave Isaac lots of land. God blessed Isaac by helping him have many animals and servants. When the animals needed water to drink, Isaac and his helpers took them to a well. A well is a hole in the ground that helps you reach water that is under the ground. The animals and people drank the water from the well. The people who lived near Isaac were upset because he had more animals than they did. They filled Isaac’s wells with dirt so the animals couldn’t drink the water. But Isaac didn’t fight. He knew fighting doesn’t fix problems. The people told him to move away. Isaac didn’t have to go, but he packed his things and moved. Clippity-clop. Isaac made a new home on his land for his family and animals. Diggity-dig. Isaac dug a well so his animals would have water to drink. But Isaac
