I Need To Deal With How I Feel
Ask your kids:
• In this story, what was the devil trying to tempt Jesus to do? (Eat, make His own food) Jesus was very hungry, and the devil knew that, so he tried to tempt Jesus to do the wrong thing. But what did Jesus do? Jesus dealt with how He felt by remembering what God says. God’s Word kept Jesus from doing the wrong thing.
• In the story that Jesus told of the two builders, what did the two men build their houses on? (Sand and rock) Which one stood strong when the winds came, and why? Jesus said that the man who built his house on the rock was wise because it was built on a firm foundation.
God’s Word is the firm foundation we can build our lives on. When our feelings come in like the storms, it will help us know how to deal with what we feel in the right way instead of letting our feelings crush us.
Memory Verse: “But even if we don’t feel at ease, God is greater than our feelings, and He knows everything.” - 1 John 3:20
