Can we put God first?

We ended our devotions this week by thinking about ways we could put God first - just like Moses, Joshua, Noah and others from the Bible! These were the ideas D1 children came up with:

These were the words D1 children used themselves. They explained them all to their very impressed teacher!

We thought Integrity meant doing the right thing even when no one else was watching.

We thought being Holy meant choosing to live God's way by doing the right things.

We thought being Diligent meant doing our best and never giving up.

God is Number One!

D1 have done some great thinking this week about what our Devotions theme, 'God is Number One', means. Here are the ideas they gave me on the first day of school!

We collected all the ideas first then we put a tick if we thought it REALLY matched the idea "God is Number One'.
We put a question mark if we weren't sure.
Samantha's idea is in a bubble because we thought it was the best one - He is first...the King of kings!

Our next lesson had us thinking about people in the Bible who we thought put God first in their lives. We had lots of ideas and ran out of room to write them all down!

After we wrote the names, Mrs Sutherland asked the class "What did the people do that showed God was first in their lives?"
D1 children gave the answers that are written in green. These are their own words.
Pretty clever, aren't they!
