The Bible Teaches God Loves All the Time

Psalm 119:72; Jeremiah 31:3

Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song (or special song). Our story also comes from a part of the Bible called Jeremiah, named after a man who loved God and told people about God so that they could love Him, too.

There’s a verse in the Bible that says that God’s Word is worth more to me than gold. And not just one piece of gold. The Bible is worth more than thousands and thousands of pieces of gold! Do you know why? Because the Bible is full of words from God!


God’s Word tells us that He loves us SO much! God loves us when we’re happy. And God loves us when we’re sad.


God loves us when we’re scared. And God loves us when we’re mad. Whether we’re happy or sad, scared or mad, God loves us.


The Bible tells us that God loves us ALL the time. When you have a choice to make and you don’t know where to go or what to do, the Bible helps you.


Do you want to learn how to be a good friend? The Bible can tell you.


Do you want to know what to do when you’re scared? The Bible can tell you.


Do you want to remember that you were wonderfully made by God and that you are special? The Bible can tell you!


The Bible can tell you all of these wonderful things because it is full of God’s words, and that makes the Bible better than gold.



Bible Paraphrase: Your teachings are worth more to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. – Psalm 119:72, NCV

Family Devotional

The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. — Psalm 119:72

Our Bible story was about something that is worth even more than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. Gold and silver are worth a lot. When you have a lot of gold and silver, it’s like having a lot of money!

But what is worth more than thousands of pieces of gold and silver? Yes! The Bible! The Bible is better than all the money in the world because it teaches us about God and His Son, Jesus. And the Bible teaches us that God loves us all the time. And God’s love is better than thousands of pieces of anything!

Your teachings are worth more to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. – Psalm 119:72, NCV

With your family, make a list of super awesome things. Things that we think are worth a lot!

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. Acknowledge to God there are so many awesome things in the world. Thank God for things like (read your list). Acknowledge those things are great. But also acknowledge that the Bible is so much better! Thank God for the Bible. Thank God that it teaches you about God and God's Son, Jesus. Thank God for loving you all the time. Acknowledge that God is the best and acknowledge to God your love for Him.

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...

Abraham and His Family Moved to a New Land

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...

Jacob and Esau

Image
Genesis 27:41a; 32:9-21; 33:3-11 Our story comes from the book, or part, of the Bible called Genesis. Genesis means "the beginning." The Bible tells us about two brothers, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau were twin brothers. They were the sons of Isaac and the grandsons of Abraham. Jacob and Esau were born at the same time and were the same age. But Esau was a couple of minutes older than Jacob. Because Esau was the oldest son, he would someday receive a special blessing from their father. That was very important. One day, Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving Jacob the important blessing instead of Esau. Esau was very mad. Esau was so angry that Jacob became afraid. Jacob decided to move away from Esau. So he packed up his things and traveled to another land. Even though God didn’t like what Jacob had done to Esau, God still blessed Jacob. God gave Jacob a large family and many animals. After many years, God told Jacob it was time to g...
