God’s Plan for Me

Jeremiah 29:11

Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah loved God and told people what God wanted them to know.

We have had an awesome month learning some true stories from the Bible about God’s plans! So far, we have learned about two people named Noah and Joseph. God had plans for them both.


God planned for Noah to build a really BIG boat to save his family and the animals. AND God put a rainbow in the sky to remind us that God always keeps His promises. Noah trusted God’s plans. Way to go, Noah!


And God had plans for Joseph, too. Joseph had to do many hard things. God used Joseph to save a LOT of people, even Joseph’s family. Way to go, Joseph!


Okay, so now hear is something really important about God’s plans. God knows the plans He has for YOU! That’s right! God has plans for you. YOU! God LOVES you and has amazing, incredible, wonderful plans for you! That is so exciting.


So, how do we know God’s plans? We can talk to God and ask him.


We can read the Bible.


And we can go to church and keep learning.


I am SO excited because God has plans for YOU! And God has plans for me!






Bible Verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. —Jeremiah 29:11, NLT

Text Truth: God has plans for me.



Family Devotional

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. 
—Jeremiah 29:11

In our Bible story today, we talked about how God had plans for Noah, God had plans for Joseph, and God has plans for you, too!

“For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. —Jeremiah 29:11, NLT

God has plans for all of you! So, on a sheet of paper, draw a large heart. Then, write the names of your family members inside the heart shape.

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, say, “Dear God, You know everything about (name each family member). You love (name each family member). You have plans for (name each family member). I pray that we will always trust Your plans and do what You say because Your plans are always best. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

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
