How about you?

Do you ever feel that Satan’s attacks are too much for you? The Bible says that you have the power to resist the devil. Don’t be discouraged if you make mistakes; confess your sins. God will forgive you and help you to overcome them as you trust him. Remember, God isn’t finished with you yet.

Memorize:

“Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

Resist Satan

Why the Sky Is Blue

Read Psalm 104:1-6, 10-19, 24-31

Dad rowed the boat to the edge of the lily pads. It was the best place on the lake to catch fish, but the fish didn’t seem to be very hungry. As Derek sat in the boat with his father, he watched his red-and-white bobber closely, waiting for it to go down. The sky and trees along the shore were reflected on the calm water. Birds were singing, and a frog hopped off a lily pad and splashed into the lake. The bobber wiggled as the ripples spread under it.

“It sure is nice out here with the blue sky and water and the green grass and trees,” Dad said. “It’s all so peaceful. It makes me forget all about the office.”

Derek turned to his dad. “We’ve been studying about colors in our class,” he said. “Scientists say that blue slows down the heart rate and green helps prevent eyestrain. That makes them restful colors.”

Dad smiled. “Do you suppose that’s why God made so much blue and green in nature?” he asked as he checked his line. But the fish still weren’t biting. “Just imagine what it would be like if the sky were bright red or all the leaves were black.”

Derek laughed at the thought. “We learned that red is supposed to raise blood pressure, so I bet that wouldn’t make people feel very good,” he said. After a moment he added, “God sure is smart.”

“God is very wise,” Dad agreed. “We see a great deal of his wisdom in nature—even in the colors he chose.”

Derek looked at his fishing line. “You know what else scientists say?” he asked. “They say orange makes you hungry.” He grinned at Dad. “I wish God had made these bobbers. Instead of red and white, I bet he would have made them orange to make the fish more hungry.” JKC
