Swimming with the Polar Bears
The foolishness of God is wiser than mans wisdom.
1 Corinthians 1:25
I t was New Years Day, snow was falling, and Aaron and his sister were standing on the beach in their swimsuits. Many other people were doing the same. It was time for the Polar Bear Swim!
I c-cant believe Im d-doing this, said Aaron, his teeth chattering.
Shivering, Christina said, D-dont wimp out n-now.
As a crowd of onlookers cheered, everyone ran splashing into the ocean. Aaron and Christina dove under the icy waves. They came up gasping and whooping, then raced back to shore to wrap themselves in towels.
A kid watching them shook his head. You guys are crazy.
Laughing, Aaron replied, W-we know!
Naaman thought it was foolish to dunk himself in the Jordan River. But when he obeyed God and did it, he was healed of leprosy. (See 2 Kings 5:1-14.) Will you trust and obey God when he asks you to do something foolish? What if he wants you to tell the cashier she gave you too much change? Or to forgive someone who isnt sorry? Acts like these may not seem wise, but God knows they make you a better person.
One of Naamans slaves, a young girl from Israel, believed that the prophet Elisha could heal Naaman. She may have thought it was foolish to try to give her master advice. But she trusted in God and did it.
Knocked off Your Feet
Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith.
1 Corinthians 16:13
L ink up, everybody, Lilly said. Well go faster! Sitting at the top of the hill, she and four of her classmates grabbed each others snow tubes. Another classmate, Denny, gave them a push, then jumped on his tube and held on to them. They started down the icy slope, laughing and yelling as they picked up speed. Lillys school was having its winter party at a ski resort with six tubing lanes. She and her friends were careening down the steepest, bumpiest one.
Woooeee! shouted Katrina as they scored some air time. The group plummeted to the bottom of the hill and slid to a stop.
Whoa, that was fast, said Denny. Grabbing his tube, he headed for the rope tow.
Watch out! Lilly cried. A rider in the next lane slammed into Dennys legs, flipping him over. You gotta stay alert, Lilly said, helping him up.
Rubbing his head, Denny said, Yeah. Guess I learned that lesson.
What knocks your faith out from under you when your guard is down? It could be something someone says on the radio. Or a comment someone writes in a magazine. Or maybe a remark from a friend who doesnt believe in God. Keep your guard up by remembering what the Bible says. Keep believing the truth, so doubt cant take you down.
It is by faith you stand firm.
2 Corinthians 1:24
Powerful Pull
[Jesus said,] I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
John 12:32
S itting at the desk in his bedroom, Dylan wound copper wire around a large nail. What are you doing, Son? his father asked, walking into the room. Dylan looked up. Making an electromagnet. I saw the instructions for it in a book. As his dad watched, Dylan taped one end of the wire to the positive side of a D-cell battery. Then he taped the other end to the negative side. Okay, Im ready to test it, he said.
Scattering small nails on his desk, Dylan held the point of the large nail over them. They leaped up and stuck to it.
Some Christians are afraid to tell people about the gospel. They think others wont like hearing about how Jesus was nailed to a cross on the ground and then was lifted up to die. But when people understand that he died to save them, they see the cross differently. The love Jesus showed the world by dying on the cross draws people to him like a magnet. Dont be afraid to share the gospel with others! Youll help them realize how much Jesus loves them.
To the people of Jesus time, a cross was a symbol of death. But Jesus cared about sinners enough to die on a cross to save them. So the cross has become a symbol of love. (See John 3:16; 15:13.)
Angry Eruptions
[Love] is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
1 Corinthians 13:5
A s Rob walked along the road, he saw plumes of steam in the distance. They were rising from the Hawaiian coast. Suddenly Rob stopped. The road ended right in front of them! This is where lava flowed over the street in 1990, Robs dad said. From this point well be walking on hardened lava. Rob and his family were hiking near Mount Kilauea, the worlds most active volcano.
They started making their way over the smooth, black rock. I can see hot lava! said Robs sister, Jamie, as they approached the shoreline. Rob could see it too. The molten rock was flowing into the sea, creating massive steam clouds. What makes the lava come out? Jamie asked.
Her mom replied, Well, magma pushes up underground, building lots of pressure. Then the volcano erupts.
Grinning, Rob said, Kinda like Jamie when she gets mad!
Selfishness and bitterness will bubble inside you like red-hot magma, causing anger to erupt. Dont let either one into your heart. Think of others, and listen to people when you have disagreements with them. And forgive those who hurt you. Ask God to fill your heart with love, so that will flow out of you instead.
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
James 1:19
Taking a Tumble
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18
A mber watched her brother ride his snowboard down the half-pipe. Holding her own board, she was taking a break from the bunny hill. She was just a beginner, but Bradley considered himself a master. He zipped up and down the sides of the half-pipe, catching air at the top. She could tell he was showing off.
Then he raced toward a jump at the bottom of the hill, yelling, Watch this! She rolled her eyes as he hit the jump. But it seemed that Bradley was more focused on impressing her than on hitting the jump properly. He wiped out, tumbling head over heels several times.
While he brushed himself off, she applauded, laughing. I liked that move!
Theres a difference between self-respect and pride. Pride will make you tumble. It caused Satan, who was once a beautiful angel, to take a terrible fall. He wanted to be God, so God threw him down from heaven. (See Isaiah 14:12-15 and Luke 10:18.) Dont let pride be your downfall. Choose self-respect, which goes hand in hand with humility.
Self-respect is loving yourself in a good, healthy way. Its giving God the credit for your abilities. Pride is thinking youre better than you really are. Its taking all the credit for Gods work in you. (See Romans 12:3.)
