God Made the World with Wisdom and Love

Genesis 1:26–27; Psalm 28:7; Psalm 104:24; Psalm 121:2; Proverbs 2:6; Acts 17:24

Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Genesis. The word genesis means “the beginning.” Our true also story comes from a part of the Bible called Psalms. The word psalm means holy song or special song. Our true also story comes from a part of the Bible called Proverbs. A proverb is a wise truth.

A long time ago, before anything was made, God was there. God is very wise—He knows everything! And God is very strong—He can do anything!


God made the whole world with His wisdom. He made the sky and the sea. He made the sun and the stars. He made animals and birds and fish. God made so many amazing things!


Then God made people. He made a man and a woman, and He made them to be like Him in special ways. They could think, make choices, love, and take care of what God made. That means you’re special too—because you are made by God!


The Bible says, “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” That means the same God who made everything also helps us every day!


When we look around and see flowers, trees, clouds, and animals, we can remember: God is wise and good. He made everything, and He loves us.


God made everything with love and wisdom—including you! He is strong, smart, and always ready to help you.


Dear God,

Thank You for making the world so beautiful and amazing. Thank You for making me and loving me. You are so wise and strong, and You help me every day. Help me to remember that I am special because You made me. We love You, God.

In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.


Bible Verse: “Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children, and walk in love, just as Christ loved us.” — Ephesians 5:1-2a, BSB

Paraphrase: “You are God’s child. Show love like Jesus did.”

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...
