every praise 

The Recording Collective (ft. Cristalbel Clack)

Read Isaiah 43:21 

We were created to worship, yet God gives us the freedom to choose to worship Him. Worship simply means “to give worth to” or to “honor something”. We are always worshipping or praising something or someone whether we know it or not. This can be the stress of school, our video games, a celebrity or anything else that we are showing honor to or placing our worth upon. We can, however, recognize the worth of things in their beauty and goodness as long as they are point us to God. 

This song declares that we give our praise and worship to God above all else. It also gives us some reasons to worship God including Him being a savior, healer, and deliverer. As you listen to this song, think about some reasons that make you want to praise God.

good good father

Chris Tomlin

This song talks about there being thousands of stories about our good father. This is true because although God is only referred to as a father about 250 times in the Bible there are many, many other stories in which people have experienced the goodness of God in their lives.  

Read 2 Corinthians 6:18 

God has many qualities that make Him a good father to us. He protects us, teaches us, makes us feel better, and most importantly He loves us so much. He has also revealed himself as a father because He is not a God who just sits in heaven but he deeply cares for us as His children. As you listen to this song draw or write about some of the qualities that make God a good father to you.

HE Is AMAZING 

Orange Kids Music

“For with God nothing will be impossible” (Luke 1:37 KJV) 

Nothing is too big, too hard, or too much for God. If God ever fails that means that anything and everything is possible with God. Isn’t that amazing?  

He can remove any obstacle, overcome any challenge, and we can trust in Him with anything. What makes this even better is that He makes everything work together for our good even the bad stuff. Deep inside we know this, but sometimes on a bad day it can be difficult to remember this.  

Use the words and motions in this song to remind yourself how amazing our God is.

trust you with my heart

Orange Kids Music

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV) 

As scripture says, Jesus is the same from day to day, year to year, through all time. He is always loving, caring, and ready to keep His promises to you. That means that you can trust Him. Even when everything feels like it’s falling apart, you can trust Jesus.  

This week find someone who knows Jesus (a parent, pastor, or friend) and ask, “How has Jesus shown you that He can be trusted?”
