Sing with the Heavens
Intro
This Midget Gem is inspired by the song “Sing with the Heavens”. You can listen to the song by clicking on the play button.
Created by God
God chose to create the universe to show His glory. We look at creation and it shows us that God made it with wisdom, skill and power. It shows us all the other parts of His character too.
When we look at a painting, that painting can show us something about the painter who has signed it. It’s like God has put his signature on creation.
Bringing God Glory
We can bring Him glory in who we are and in how we live our lives.
Our lives have meaning and purpose. Do you know that God has already planned good works for you to do?! Check it out in Ephesians 2 verse 10.
All things, including you and me, were created for Him.
God takes pleasure in what He created and whenever God’screation brings us happiness we should thank God.
Being Creative
Do you like making or building new things, drawing, craft work, making cards, painting, colouring, working with wood, inventing things, photography or cooking? And do you take joy in looking at and thinking about what you’ve created? I know I do. And that’s good because God made us to be creative too, to reflect that creative part of Himself. We should be really happy about that and thank Him for it.
God’s love did all this and more!
He created you then sent His Son Jesus out of love for you, to die for you so you could be forgiven for your sins. Sin mucks our lives up and spoils our friendship with God but Jesus washes our sin away again making us clean. Then, if you ask Him, He’ll fill you with His Holy Spirit to help you, comfort you, guide you, give you power, show you what God is like, grow His special fruit in you, give you spiritual gifts etc. How much God must love you to do all this for you! Take a moment to thank Him for that now.
Holy Spirit Challenge
There are so many more things the Holy Spirit does in us and for us – see if you can make a list of what He’s done in your life and the lives of your friends or family.
Is there anything you know the Holy Spirit does that you’d like Him to do for or in you? Ask Him!
Artwork
Make a collage with lots of pictures of creation cut out from magazines or catalogues (ask permission from who they belong to first!). You can use pictures of planets, water, sky, people, plants, animals, deserts, mountains, beaches etc. Stick them onto a big piece of stiff paper or card.
Or you could do a painting or drawing of all the things God has made that are mentioned in Psalm 89 that this song is based on.
