Being alive does to and seeing all living things shows just how great God is. God made everything. He is so good.

Week 8: Thursday: Job 2:1-13

                    In this passage Satan and some angels went to the Lord. The Lord asked what Satan wanted. Satan replied that he could get Job to spit and curse the Lord if he could hurt him.

Week 8: Wednesday: Job 1:1-22

             In this passage Job had everything. Then some angels and Satan went to the Lord. Satan spoke with God. Satan said to God if he took everything away from Job Job would blame God. God gave Satan permission to take everything away from. Job. Satan did just that. Job then did an almost impossible thing to do. He didn't blame God. He fell to the ground and praised God. When people I love die, I sometimes question God. Like my great grandma. She was a really great woman of God. I know I shouldn't question God but I do sometimes.

When someone starts going against God, I tell them that is not right.

Week 7: Thursday: Esther 3:1-5

             In this pasage the king puts Haman in a high place of power. the king commanded everyone to bow down to Haman. Mordecai wouldn't bow down though.

The show came out great though. that happens like every summer.

He just wanted to show off her beauty. He ordered her out of the kingdom. She was never allowed to be in the presence of king Xerxes ever again. I take the most important people in my life for granted a lot. I hate to say it. I don't like to take people for granted.

Week 7: Monday: Nehemiah 8:1-18

               In this passage The Israelites are taught from the Book of the Law. They celebrate the Bible. They worship God. They had never worshipped it like that ever.

Week 6: Friday: Nehemiah 5:1-19

         In this passage the people were being charged interest. Some were sold into slavery. When Nehemiah heard about this, he was angry. He made everyone swear not to sell people into slavery. They also had to promise to give back every bit of money they took and not to charge anymore interest. Whoever disobeyed this God would punish. I don't help the poor much. I hate to say it. I want to help. I just don't know what to do to help them. I don't see very many poor people here in the United States of America.

Week 6: Thursday: Nehemiah 2:1-20

            In this passage someone looked sad. The king let him go to Jerusalem to rebuild it. Then he went to go rebuild it. Some people mocked him. he said the Lord was with him.

Week 6 : Wednesday: Ezra 3:7-13

                   In this passage it talked about building a new temple. Some people weeped over it. Some were happy. It depends on the project. If it is easy I'll be glad to do it. If it is hard I would probably get angry. I like certain activities.

                  In this passage Josiah becomes king. He is only 8. he ruled fpr 31 years. Hilkiah was the priest. Josiah sent his servant to go to him. hilkiah gave them the Book of the Law. When the king read this he tore his robes. He then gave orders to the priest. When the Bible is a lost book, only bad things can happen. I live my life by the Bible.

Week 6: Monday: 2 Kings 11:1-21

                   In this passage one of the king's wives' child died. She set out to kill all the other children in the royal family. They put one child in hiding for 6 years. On the 7th year they put guards all around the king and the young prince. He was appointed king.  In life my best examples or role models are my friends, parents, and brother. They always help me.

Then Elisha said his spirit was with his servant, and he cursed his servant for basically stealing. His servant got Naaman's leprosy and his descendants were cursed with it too. I can't think of something I refused or refuse to do for God. I love him. I will do anything for God. I know there is something I have refused to do. I just cant think of it.

Week 5: Thursday: 2 Kings 2: 13-25

        In this passage Elisha took up Elijah's cloak. He parted the sea with it. Some people went searching for Elijah. They didn't find him. Then he went to Samari.

Week 5: Wednesday: 2 Kings 2: 1-12

        In this passage Elijah and Elisha were walking. Elijah told Ellisha to stay somewhere. Elisha said that as long as Elijah lived he wouldn't leave his side. They repeated that over and over.

Week 5: Teusday: 1 Kings 22: 29-40

             In this passage the king of Judah's soldiers went after Jehoshaphat in war. They realized that he wasn't the king of Israel so they stopped chasing him.

     This passage was about Solomon becoming king. David made Solomon king. He chose Solomon and Adonijah was afraid of Solomon.

Week 2: Thursday: 2 Samuel 15: 1-37

        In this passage it talks about Absolum taking over Israel. David had to flee Israel. David sent two priests to Israel to bring the ark of God back. Then David sent Hushai back to Israel too.

My parents will punish me too. I do whatever they tell me to do.

Week 2: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 14: 1-33

       In this passage the king helped Joab. The king let Absalom back into Jerusalem and Israel. He was able to have three children.

          In this passage nathan told David about a man who stole another man's sheep. David got so mad. Nathan then told David that he was that man. God corrected David.

Then her father went to David. Her father didn't go back home so he was killed. Later David married Uriah's wife after her mourning time for Uriah was over. It is hard for me to admit fault when I know I'll get in trouble. I try to hold off punishment for as long as I can. It doesn't work very well. I try not to sin. I just somehow sin when I don't know I'm sinning.

Week 1:Thursday: 2 Samuel 9: 1-13

        In this passage David gave Saul's grandson Saul's land back. David showed kindness to Saul's grandson. He was really nice. I have a couple promises that need to be kept. First, I have promised to God to keep his commandments. I intend to NEVER brake this promise. Second, I have promised to read my bible more often. I haven't really made any other promises. I try to not sin. Nobody is perfect so sometimes I lie and do liitle sins like that. Whenever I have noticed I sinned I repent.

Week 1: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 5: 1-12

            In this passage God made David king over Israel. It talks about how he was thirty when he became king. He ruled for forty years. He conquered the Jebusites. In their kingdom is where he became king of Israel. To become a person who is more pleasing to God I would have to change a bunch of stuff about me. I would have to watch less TV. I would have to read the Bible more. I would have to testify more. I would need to pray more that once at night and during school. I would be a more Godly person. I'm not perfect. I can't do all these things all the time. I'll try to do more though.

Week 1: Teusday: 1 Samuel 28: 1-25

                   In this passage Saul disguised himself.He went to a medium.He saw Samuel's ghost.Samuel told him some really terrible news. He knew he would die the next day. Bringing up ghosts like Samuel and witchcraft are some occult practices. God doesn't like those types of things. He says don't hang around witchcraft. It is bad. He would hate it if anyone participated in that kind of practice.

Week 1: Monday: 1 Samuel 25: 1-42

  In this passage Abigail warned David. Many men would have died if it weren't for her. God killed Nabal. Then Abigail became David's wife. God tells me in my head not to do that. When I make a mistake, he reminds me so I won't do it again.He is so helpful. I don't like making mistakes.God helps me learn from my mistakes though.
