CHILD-FRIENDLY TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!

Memory Verse: “Don’t forget what I tell you. They will give life and health to anyone who understands them.” — Proverbs 4:21–22

 

What Does This Mean? 

When we’re sick, we usually take medicine to feel better. But did you know that God’s Word is like medicine too? 

It helps our hearts, minds, and even our bodies feel better!

Is It Okay to Take Medicine?

Yes! God gave people the wisdom to make medicine and help others. 

Even Luke, one of Jesus’ followers, was a doctor! 

But we should always pray to God first and trust Him to help us heal—He is the greatest doctor of all!

What the Bible Says 

- God’s Word is like medicine for our hearts and bodies. 

- When we read the Bible and believe it, it brings peace, healing, and strength. 

- Isaiah 53:5 says, “By His stripes, we are healed.” That means Jesus already made a way for us to be well!

What Can We Do? 

- Take your medicine if the doctor gives it to you. 

- But also take your spiritual medicine—read your Bible, pray, and trust God. 

- God’s Word has no bad side effects—only good ones!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

1. What do you do when you feel sick—do you pray too? 

2. How can you make reading the Bible part of your daily routine? 

3. Do you believe God can heal you through His Word and power? 

4. How can you help others trust God when they’re not feeling well?

PRAYER: Dear God, thank You for being my healer. Help me to trust You when I’m not feeling well. Thank You for doctors and medicine, but most of all, thank You for Your Word that brings healing and peace. Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
