Practise and practise every day to be a child of the Lord.
We have to keep trying; even though we make mistakes. In the same way we learn how to write and do sums, we learn to live. We learn by doing it over and over again until we get it right.
It is not easy to live this way. Many people try to live this way for a day or two but when they fail to get it right, they lose hope and forget about the Lord.
Every child of the Lord should live in the way He teaches us in the Bible.
Unit
...make thy way straight before my face. Ps 5:9
Lesson 1
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
Unit
This year we are going to learn (and practise) to live like children of the Lord.
Every time things become too much for you or when your faith leads you into trouble, think of what Jesus did for you, pray (like Jesus) and keep the faith.
Even Jesus found it a challenge to be a human being and to be obedient to His heavenly Father (for example: think about the temptation He endured when He was hungry and the devil suggested that He make bread from stones). Luckily the Lord, when it became too much for Him, prayed: “Not My will, but hy will be done”. Even though the crucifixion was exceedingly awful for the Lord: He went through it all so that we, you and I, could be saved.
It is very, important that you remember these words of the Lord. It is not easy to be a believer, but you may never lose hope.

Prayer: Father, I want to live with You in heaven one day, but I am weak and sinful. That is why I ask You to help and guide me in the year ahead to follow the straight and narrow way. Help me to keep trying to live in the right way, even though it may be difficult. Amen.
Lesson 1
Read Matthew 7:13 -14
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education 1
Even if you are small and alone, The Lord is big and strong. He will help you.
In the Bible, we read of many people who became afraid and how the Lord helped and comforted them.
Children of the Lord do not have to be afraid. Nothing on earth is stronger than the Lord and because we are His children, He helps us and keeps us safe. No matter what happens to us, we know that the Lord is always with us.

Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord... Ex 14:13
Lesson 2
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
1
Never allow things that go wrong, to cause you to become unhappy and negative. Rather ask the Lord to help you. His plans often are often miracles!
Little did the Israelites know that one of the greatest miracles that ever happened would happen right before their eyes: the sea divided into two parts and they walked between two walls of water, to safety on the other side.
People easily remember things that are bad and wrong, but quickly forget good things. The Israelites were scarcely out of Egypt, where they experienced all the miracles (the plagues), when they forgot that it was the Lord who had helped them. They started to tremble with fear when they heard that the Pharaoh was on his way!

Prayer: Lord, when there is no hope or relief, perform your wonder to save your children. For that I bless and praise thee. I know that You are almighty: yes, You can do anything. You can help, save and guide people. Help me and guide me on the right way. Amen.
Lesson 2
Unit
Read Exodus 14:1-30
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
The Lord knows best
The plan sounded strange; but the Israelites did what the Lord asked of them and the plan worked. It was not even necessary for them to fight the soldiers of the city.
The Lord shows the new generation that He helps and guides them and He, Himself sees to it that they are able to occupy the promised land.
The people who had experienced the miracles in Egypt and the exodus from there, had all died by the time the Israelites reached their promised land.

...that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city... Joshua 6:20
Lesson 3
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
1
(The Jericho we read about in the New Testament, was built a short distance from the ruins of the old city. It was a beautiful city with rose gardens and palm trees. There also were huge wild fig-trees that were thousands of years old. Do you remember that Zaccheus climbed into one of these trees so that he could see Jesus?)
Did you know? Joshua cursed Jericho (read verse 26) and left the city behind in a pile. Later the people forgot all about the Lord. They also forgot about this curse, because Hiel decided to rebuild the city. See 1 Kings 16:34 to see what happened.
Yes, it will work, because you won’t use it against the tank or plane (both are made of iron) but against the person who controls the tank or plane. Your hearts are alike, because the Lord made them both! The Bible can change any person’s life, even the lives of people who do not believe in the Lord.
Do you think that your Bible can be used as a weapon against a huge tank or a fighter plane?

Prayer: Lord, although I am small, I know that I live for You. Help me today to show people who talk to me or see me, that I am a true child of Jesus. Today, help me not to be afraid or ashamed to tell people that I believe in You. Help me to show Your love to other people. Amen.
Lesson 3
Read Joshua 6:1-21
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education 1
In this way the Lord helps and saves His people.
Jonathan and his helper killed more than 20 men! The Lord let the earth tremble and the Philistines became afraid.
Jonathan knew full well that the small number of Israeli soldiers could not triumph over the wellarmed Philistines. Maybe he thought of the time when Gideon, with only a few men and the assistance of the Lord, triumphed over a huge army. Just like Gideon, he would also wait on a sign from the Lord.

...it may be that the Lord will work for us; for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few. 1 Sam 14:6
Lesson 4
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
Unit 1
Pray and keep on praying. God hears you.
Jesus said that we must ask and never stop asking.
This is when children’s faith in the Lord results in miracles!
Sometimes it looks as though adults and leaders do not have enough faith. They look at the facts (for example: 600 soldiers against 6 000 soldiers), frown anxiously, shake their heads, but do nothing.
He was not king, a priest, or a leader. He was only a young boy.
The minute Jonathan acts in faith, the Lord steps in with two miracles.

Prayer: Lord, this story teaches me to always trust in You, even when things look bad. You help Your children. Help me to always remember this and when things go wrong to pluck up the courage and to ask for Your help. Amen.
Lesson 4
Read 1 Samuel 13:23-14:24
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education 1
The Lord is my Shepherd
Even in times of hardship, the Lord stays with His sheep and helps them.
Jesus says that He is the good Shepherd and we are His sheep. He looks after us, cares for us and protects us.
David was a shepherd when he was a young boy (about 5 to 10 years old). Although he was small, he knew how to look after sheep and how to care for them.

He gives you peace in your heart. He lets the sun shine. He provides you with food and clothing. He scares you. He listens when you pray.
The Lord protects and helps you. Are the following statements true or false?
He takes them to good pastures with plentiful grass. He runs away when a bear or wolf approaches and hides in the house.
The shepherd helps and protects his sheep. Are the following statements true or false?

Prayer: Lord, daily we hear of people dying. We know that Jesus, who died, lives. We know that because we believe in You, we shall also live, until eternity. Help us to remember this every day, that this life is only the beginning of our actual life with You. We are comforted when people we love, die, because we know that we all will be with You, Lord Jesus, with our Father. Help us then so that the words of David also become our words. Amen.
Lesson 5
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education 1
Always remember this: You need not fear anything. God is stronger than everything on earth and He helps you.
Jesus broke the power of the devil so that we no longer have to live in fear. We have to fear absolutely nothing!
The devil uses fear as a weapon against us. (Adam was afraid after he sinned, and tried to hide himself from the Lord, because he did not want the Lord to see him).
One of the first lessons a child of the Lord should learn, is not to be afraid.

...be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Acts 27:25
Lesson 6
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education
Sometimes in one’s life, things can go so badly that it feels worse than in a storm. During such times there is only one thing that one can do: Pray!
When this is the case, it must be very comforting to hear a voice shout: 'Keep heart, men! The Lord is in charge!'
In a terrible storm, I sometimes become afraid. Especially when the lightning flashes, the bursts of thunder are very loud and the electricity fails. One night, in the pitch-dark, with the noise of the storm around me, I thought what it must feel like on a ship in such a storm! In a storm on a ship, water is everywhere the eye can see and you are also thrown about. In this case, a person must be soaking wet, and his teeth must be chattering with cold.

Prayer: Lord, we know that the powers of nature, like wind and water, are very strong. Thank you that you control these powers and that we can ask for Your help in times of emergency. Thank you that You can help us, just like You guided these people safely. Amen.
Lesson 6
Read Acts 27:18-44
Study Guide G06 ~ Bible Education 1
Jacob could not believe that he had to do nothing. He wanted to fix everything himself. Even when he asks for the Lord’s assistance, and the Lord promises him (twice) that He will help and protect him, he still makes his own plans. We don’t only learn from people that always say and do the right things, but also from the weak and those who did not want to listen to the Lord. It helps us, who sin every day, to realise that The Lord loves us, in the same way He loved Jacob, in spite of his unfaithfulness and plans.

He holds your hand tightly. Always. Even when it feels as though you are alone.

Jesus is Lord.
No other person, no prophet, no spirit or thing can do this, only the Lord.
God is almighty. It even took the disciples some time to believe that Jesus could really do everything. He could cure the ill, bring the dead back to life, walk on water, increase food and calm the sea and the wind. Jesus did even more than this. He rose from the dead!
