God Knows Everything about Me

Psalm 139:1-4; Matthew 10:30

Our true also story comes from a part of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song or special song. Our true story also comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!”

We begin with someone very important . . . it’s YOU! Do you know who thinks you’re important? God! God thinks you’re important. God loves you so much and God knows everything about you.


Let’s play a game to learn more! It’s called, “God knows.”


Let’s try it. Does God know when you are happy? Yes, God knows when you’re happy. 


Does God know when you’re sad? Yes, God knows! God knows when you’re sad.


Does God know when you sit down? Yes, God knows!


Does God know when you stand up? Yes, God knows! God knows when you sit down or stand up. 


Does God know the words you’re going to say to a friend? Yes, God knows! God even knows what you’re going to say to your friend before you say it! 


Hey, did you notice all of the answers were, “YES, God knows!”? Wow! God is amazing and God knows everything about you and me. 


God even knows how many hairs are on our heads! That’s pretty amazing. Let’s see if we can count all the hairs on your head. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . 6, 7, 8, 9, 10! There are so many hairs! We can’t count them all, but God can. Does God know how many hairs are on our heads? Yes, God knows!


God knows exactly how many hairs are on our heads. God knows everything about you and me because we are important to God. Wow! God made you wonderful, and God made me wonderful! So, when anyone asks you, “Who made you wonderful?” Say, “God made me wonderful!”






Bible Verse: How you made me is amazing and wonderful. —Psalm 139:14, NIrV

Text Truth: I am important to God.



Family Devotional

And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
—Matthew 10:30

In our Bible Story, we learned that God knows everything about us. God even knows how many hairs are on your head! You are THAT important to God! So, every time you look in the mirror, you are looking at someone important who is wonderfully made by God! So, when anyone asks you, “Who made you wonderful?” Say, “God made me wonderful!”

How you made me is amazing and wonderful. —Psalm 139:14, NIrV

With your family, grab a piece of paper and write down your guess for how many hairs are on your head. Have each family member write down how many hairs they think are on their head. And make sure each family member writes their name next to their guess.

Pray with your family. Allow any family members to pray if they wish. In your own words, say, “Dear God, thank You for teaching us how important we are to You. (Say each family member’s name) are all so important to You, that You even know how many hairs are on their head! Thank You that You made us amazing and wonderful and that You love us! We love You, God. 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...

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...
