Bible Story: God has a plan for me.
Joseph Gets a Coat and Goes to Egypt • Genesis 37; Jeremiah 1:5
Memory Verse: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the LORD.” Jeremiah 29:11, NLT
Key Question: Who has a plan for you?
Bottom Line: God has a plan for me.
ASK: Who has a plan for you? (God has a plan for you!)
DO THIS ACTIVITY: Read the following story – tell your kid to make a “happy”, “sad”, or “scared” face when prompted.
“One day, Joseph’s dad gave him a very special coat. (happy face.) This made Joseph happy. Show me your happy faces. Good job! But, it made Joseph’s brothers very sad—even mad! Show me your sad faces. (sad face.) Joseph’s brothers got so mad that they threw Joseph in a hole! (sad face.) This made Joseph very, very sad. Buy Joseph trusted that God loved him and that God had a plan for him. (happy face.) This made Joseph happy.
“Joseph’s brothers finally got him out of the hole, but they sent him far away to Egypt! (scared face.) This made Joseph scared and afraid. He didn’t want to leave his family. Show me your scared faces. I would be afraid, too! But Joseph kept trusting that God loved him and that God had a plan for him. (happy face.) Thinking about God’s love made Joseph happy.”
“God loves you, too—A LOT! God loves you when you’re happy, sad, mad, afraid, scared . . . all the feelings! And because God loves you SO much, God has a plan for you! Who has a plan for you? [Bottom Line] God has a plan for me.”
REVIEW: For I know (point to head) the plans I have for you,’ (march) says (hands to mouth like yelling) the Lord, (Point up) Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT).” (Open your hands like a book.)
