TEACHER DEVOTIONAL Read: Genesis 1:1-8, 14-19 God made everything. All that God made points us toward him and helps us get to know him. Have you ever read Bible stories and thought, none of this would be possible if God hadn’t first created it? It sounds obvious, but God created everything, literally everything, with purpose. Crea+on has a role to play in God’s story and in ours as we get to know more of him. So, as we teach the preschoolers about crea+on this month, we’ll take a look at some real examples of God using his crea+on, something tangible, to help teach us something spiritual. In the first couple days of crea+on, God separated the waters and created an expanse above and below. The expanse above, he named the sky. And in the sky, he placed a sun, a moon, planets, and a whole ton of stars. Maybe he made these things (the boundless sky, the numerous stars) so that later the Psalmist could write things like this: “Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies,” Psalm 36:5. And this: “He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite,” Psalm 147:4-5. These passages help us to grasp, a li_le bit more, how much God loves us and how vast and boundless that love actually is. Think about the stars. God created each one of them, and then years later one of those same stars, a very significant one, guided people from all over the world to meet Jesus. Maybe God made day and night, the cycle of the moon and the rota+on of the earth, so that we could know that he is consistent, that we can count on him and trust him. The Bible tells us that “the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands,” Psalm 19:1. So, next +me you look up and see what God has made in the sky, remember him, remember his love and his plan to rescue us through Jesus, and thank him for how big and trustworthy he is.

(For younger kids: Once kids take a turn keep cards face up, or reduce the number of memory cards.)
