Marveling at God’s Mighty Works
Never Thought of ALL That! O LORD, Your creation and works are past finding out.O LORD our Lord, how excellent are YOU in ALL Your ways! As a rainbow 🌈 makes its spectacular appearance, trees sway in a gentle breeze, raindrops cling to rose 🌹 petals, and an eagle 🦅 soars to great heights—when a new baby begins to grow in the mother’s womb, we are delighted to watch the baby bump, touch and feel the movements! We notice these signs of an indescribable GOD and are speechless. Watching in awe and wonder, we appreciate the vastness, greatness, and power of GOD! Hear some of the questions GOD asked His servant Job (and us), reminding us to stay amazed by GOD’s majestic, magnificent marvels: Job 38:8–14 8 “Who shut up the sea behind doorswhen...

Splash! “Help! I’m sinking!” “Flop, you’re a frog. Frogs don’t sink.” “Aww, Flip, you’re no fun. I was just pretending!” “Why don’t we pretend happy things instead of scary ones?” “Hmm… maybe because it’s exciting? Sometimes you’re such a pole in the mud, Flip.” “Stick, Flop, not pole.” “Stick, pole, tadpole, you know what I mean. And I was wondering. Have you ever thought about heaven? I do. I don’t think they play scary games there. I think they play games where we’re all winners and it’s wonderful and fun.” “But Flip… if we’re in heaven, doesn’t that mean we’ve…?” “Died?” “I was going to say croaked.” “Um. Hadn’t thought of that....

“Let us not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” Galatians 6:9 (NLT) Devotion Time! Have you ever built a puzzle with your friends or family? Imagine trying to finish it all by yourself, it’s very hard! But when everyone helps, the picture comes together beautifully. That’s just like how God wants His children to work together in His big family—the Church. A long time ago, Jesus prayed something very special. He said: “Father, I pray that all of them may be one, just like You and I are one.” John 17:21 (paraphrased) Jesus wants all His followers to work together as one team, just like He works closely with His Father in heaven. “Have you ever had a group project where...
Read MoreThe Tower of Babel—A Poem
There was a king named Nimrod. He wanted to reach God. As a show of his power. He ordered his people to build a tower. They built it wide. They built it high. From the ground into the sky. God was displeased at what was done. He made them all speak different tongues. The builders became an unruly rabble. They stopped work on the Tower of Babel. The groups went their separate ways. That was the end of their building days. In Babylonia, and hence. They’ve been babbling ever since.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. Matthew 7:12 (NIV) “School’s out! What do I want to do?” Hannah Hippo asked. She thought about ice cream. She thought about cupcakes. She thought about toys and laughing. Hannah jumped. She squealed. She splashed and flipped in the water. Then she got tired and flopped on the bank. Harold Hippo waddled over.“What are you doing, Hannah?” he asked. “I want to have fun this summer,” Hannah said. “But too much food hurts my tummy. Too much playing makes me tired. Too much laughing makes my cheeks hurt!” Harold sat beside her. “What makes you happy? What makes you sad?” Hannah thought.“I’m happy when people are kind to me. I’m sad when they’re mean.” Harold nodded. “Me...
