THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FESTIVALS

Bible Passage : Exodus 13:1-16

A festival is a time of celebration when special foods and drinks are served and there is a lot of entertainment. There were several of them for the people of the Old Testament just as today.

God told Moses that the day He spoke to him should be taken as the first day of the first month of the year (Jewish Callendar) just like first January of the present day Callendar. On the tenth of the Jewish first month, one year old lambs or goats are kept by each family that can afford to do so or neighbours could share one animal and kill it on the 14th day. The meat is roasted and eaten with bitter herbs (sin causes bitterness by making God unhappy with us) and unleavened bread (a small amount of yeast makes the dough of bread to swell just as a little sin spoils our relationship with God).

Just as the blood of the lamb on the door post was a sign to identify the Israelites so that God did not go there to kill their first sons, so also Christ’s blood was shed for us to cleanse our sins and save us from hell. Good Friday and Easter mark this sacrifice.

Your recognition of the fact that Jesus she’d His blood and died so that you might have salvation differentiates you from unbelievers. You should not continue to nail Christ to the cross by continuing in your sins.

TODAY’S ACTION

Thank God for sending Jesus to die for our sins. Draw a lamb and a house with the sign of the Passover on one side and Christ on the cross with blood on His palms on the other side. This will remind you of two types of blood sacrifices and festivals to mark them.

Bible Reading – Daniel 5:1-7, 17-28.
King Belshazzar did not remember what happened to his ancestor Nebuchadnezzar
when he did not honour God. He and his friends used the holy cups taken from the
temple in Jerusalem for drinking wine. They were still praising their gods when a
hand started writing on the wall!! Daniel explained the weiting but it was too late for
Belshazzar; he was killed that hight! How easy it is to forget God’s power and His
laws. In order to remind ourselves of how He wants us to live we must read our Bibles
every day.


TODAY’S ACTION
Ask your mummy or teacher what people mean when they ask “don’t you see the
handwriting on the wall?”

Bible Reading Daniel 4:28-37
Nebuchadnezzar was a very proud and stubborn king. One would have thought that
after God saved Daniel’s friends from the fire, he would continue to respect God. He
thought power belonged to him and he was boasting. See how God humbled him! He
was crawling and eating grass like a cow … he was really mad and remained like that
for 7 years until he could think normally again and praised, God. God does not like
proud people.


TODAY’S ACTION
Write 4 bad things that happened to Nebuchadnezzar.

Bible Passage Daniel 3:1-6, 8, 12-14, 16-26
Can you imagine a gold statue that is 90 feet high and 9 feet wide? How tall are you
now? If you do not know, you should find out today. As tall and big as it was, the statue
was powerless. Even the king who made it and the people who worshipped it had to
confess that the God of Daniel, Meshack, Shadrach and Abednego was the only God
who could save people. The king ordered that only God should be worshipped
because even though the furnace was made seven times hotter, not even the hair on the
heads of Daniel’s three friends were burnt. God sent an angel to join them in the fire.


TODAY’S ACTION
Ask your dad about how tall you are or measure your height today.

DREAM.
Bible Passage Daniel 2:1-5, 11-17, 27-28, 46-47.
When you have time, you can read about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and the meaning.
Today, the passages we read remind us of how God solves our problems if we ask him
about them. Daniel did not know king Nebuchadnezzar’s dream or the meaning but he
and his friends prayed to God to tell them, and He did. That made the pagan king to
bow down in respect to God. All the other wise men who worshipped idols (dead
objects) could not help the king and they were all killed. We must not put our trust in
idols but in God. We must be like Daniel.


TODAY’ S ACTION
Pray for those who still worship idols that they will be able to know God.

BQ. 27.11

The book of Daniel is a record on Daniel, one of the prophets who were in exile in
Babylon. The Babylonian king was a pagan (idol worshipper) and he treated the
Israelites badly. Daniel raised the people’s hope that God will deliver them.
DAY 140 IT IS GOOD TO EAT VEGETABLES
Bible Passage Daniel 1:3-17.


Do you like to eat vegetables? I know some children who do not, but it is because they
do not know what they are missing! The Bible does not say exactly which vegetables
Daniel and his friends ate but some people think it was mainly beans or beanlike
vegetables. There are many vegetables in different countries. They give us not only
energy, but a lot of Iron for making blood and vitamins which protect us from illness.
There are certain groups of people today who eat only vegetables. They must eat a
good variety to maintain a healthy diet.


TODAY’S ACTION
Ask your teacher about the type/group of foods vegetables belong to. Make a list of
the ones found in this country.

Bible Passage Eccl. 12:1-8.


Everyday, we grow older. It is important to do as much as we can when we are still
young and strong. Have you seen old people trying to get something done? You
wonder why it takes them so long, and also why they sleep so much. For some who
worked hard when they were young, there is enough money for their needs but for
some, it is a life of begging or managing with poverty. The difference between a
successful person and a failure is that the later put in more effort.


TODAY’S ACTION
Recite the whole of Psalm 23. Pray that you will always work hard when it is time for
work.

This book is written by someone who looks at the pattern of human life. He talks of
various good and bad experiences of life and seems to think all is hopeless. We know
that with God, there is always hope. He can change a bad situation into a good one if
we do His will.


DAY 127 THERE IS A TIME FOR EVERYTHING
Bible Passage Eccl. 3:1-8
It is always better to do the right thing at the right time. If we plant crops when there is
no rain, what do we expect to harvest? The young plants will dry up and die. It is good
to know that God is in control of all that happens and that they happen at his chosen
time. This does not mean we should lie lazily in bed, expecting God to come and clean
us up or do our home-work. We already know what needs to be done and should do
them at the right time. We should also pray for God to guide us as we do different
things during the day.


TODAY’S ACTION
Is there something you ought to have done yesterday but you did not do it? If it is not
tool late, get it done today. You should be memorizing the 6th verse of Psalm 23 today.

Proverbs is a collection of teachings on how we should live if we are wise. They are
words of wisdom and were written by Solomon, the wisest king.


DAY 126 THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVERBS
Bible Passage: Proverbs 1:1-10
Proverbs are words of wisdom which have been put together through experiences in
life. Even those who think they are already wise have some things to learn from them.
They are good especially for young people and no one is too old to learn from them.
You may read some of them when you have a holiday. Think deeply about the advices
you read in today’s proverb and always try to remember them.


TODAY’S ACTION
Read verse 10 again. Remember it when your friends want you to do something
wrong with them.

The book is about prophet Ezekiel who lived in Babylon before and after his people
were captured from Jerusalem. As a priest, he talked a lot about holiness and the
importance of the temple. He describes vision of God and God’s throne and writes about about his call as a prophet, warning about God’s judgement on Israel and her oppressors, comfort for Israel after the fall of Jerusalem and the restored nation and temple.


DAY 139 DRY BONES BECOME HUMAN AND LIVE
Bible Passage Ezekiel 37:1-14
Prophet Ezekiel, like other prophets had many visions and messages from God.
Today’s passage is one of the popular visions. It is God’s response to the cry of the
people of Israel when they were sober and asked God for forgiveness. The dry bones
represent the household of Israel (that is Israel and Judah) who had lost hope. God
forgave them and told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones. The bones were returned
to normal, meaning that God will bring them out of Babylon where they were slaves
and return them to their own homes. He would also renew them spiritually. What a
merciful God and father we have.


TODAY’S ACTION
Thank God for being so merciful and being a wonderful father to you.
