Dear Young Friend,

If you could somehow dive into the middle of my heart, you’d see how I’ve dreamed and dreamed of this moment, when you’d be holding The One Year Make-It-Stick Devotions in your hands and reading it with your eyes.

You’d also see how I’ve prayed and prayed with all my heart that God will strengthen you to dig big in his Word. For if you stick like glue to what God says to do:

You’ll tie and apply his Word to your heart. You’ll feel God’s smile and go the extra mile.You’ll be in the crowd that follows God’s cloudAnd start growing like a sprout inside and out.You’ll carry God’s map inside your thinking capAnd fi nd you’re a major piece of God’s master puzzle.Your heart will open the door to the poor,And you’ll dwell on what’s behind the shell.

You won’t dillydally in the valley of decision,And you’ll have the sense to stay off the fence.You’ll love God’s honey more than moneyAnd fi nd God has the power to provide all your fl our.Your faith will stay in grape shape,And you’ll go out on a limb for him.You’ll glitter God’s glory, And like the lone leper you’ll pepper God with praise.

So let’s bee-lieve in God’s perfect weave,And one day meet on Easy Street.

I’ll see you then, if not before.

Love,

Emmett

Dear Grown-Up Friend,

Have you ever thought about why the “lessons” tied to McDonald’s golden arches, Nike’s swoosh, and Disney’s Mickey Mouse ears really stick to our hearts and minds? The answer is simple: This tie-a-message-to-a-symbol educational method is solidly based on the spiritual technology of Deuteronomy 6:7-9:

Repeat [God’s commands] again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates (italics added).

Throughout Scripture, God uses concrete, make-it-stick reminders of his powerful promises, like the rainbow in Genesis 9, the twelve stones in Joshua 4, and the bread and cup in 1 Corinthians 11. Everything God teaches in his Word can be tied to a symbol—a picture in our minds. And whatever can be pictured in our minds can be placed in our hands and permanently stuck to our hearts.

Each daily devo saying in this One Year Make-It-Stick Devotions is tied to a “Click-er,” something that kids see or think about all the time. These visual symbols make God’s Word “click and stick” in your child’s mind and heart. And by seeing or thinking about them every day, your family is constantly reminded to stick like glue to what God says to do.

With all my heart I hope these make-it-stick devotions help you, your kids, and your grandkids discover the sweetness of God’s Word. Then, like David in Psalm 19:9-10, you’ll feel and bee-lieve:

“The laws of the LORD . . . are sweeter than honey.”

If I can help you in any way, please contact me at www.HoneyWord.org or 1-800-HoneyWord (1-800-466-3996).

Making God’s Word Stick,

Emmett Cooper

At Home with the HoneyWord Wayof LearningWhen you see a jar of honey, you probably think about how sweet and sticky it is! In the book of Psalms, Chapter 19 (verses 9-10) God tells us that his Word is sweeter than honey. So the HoneyWord way of learning is getting God’s Word to stick like honey in your mind and heart. Here’s how the HoneyWord way works.

Week 6, WednesdayBOOK OF DEUTERONOMYDoodlebug-eronomy

Doodlebug-eronomy sounds like Deuteronomy.Like people who doodle things on paper again and again, Moses spelled out God’s Word one more time before the people entered the Promised Land. When you see Doodlebug-eronomy in a picture, you’ll know the daily devo is from Deuteronomy. Connected to Doodlebug-eronomy are number symbols. (See page 15.) They make the chapter location of the devo click and stick.

The people of God were right back where they had started. Forty years earlier, they had camped in this same place by the Jordan River. But instead of trusting God and entering the Promised Land, they had shrunk back in fear. To keep them strong this time, Moses put together a scrapbook of faith, which we call Deuter-onomy. Like a human doodlebug writing the same thing over and over, Moses told story after story to remind the people again and again of God’s love and faithfulness. Then he challenged the people to step out in faith as they watched God step in and provide.

MAKE IT STICKMake a tab to mark the book of Deuteronomy in your Bible. (See Week 1, Monday, for directions.)

Have you ever tried doodling? The next time you watch TV or listen to your favorite CD, get out a pencil and notepad and write a name or word over and over. Or draw a simple picture of a favorite fl ower or animal again and again. Doodling helps the word or picture you’re thinking about really stick in your mind, doesn’t it? Aren’t you glad Moses was like a doodlebug, writing again and again about God’s love?

Whenever you see a picture of a doodlebug or think about one, remember Doodlebug-eronomy and the book of Deuter-onomy. (There really are tiny doodlebugs. You can read about them on page 60.)

JUST FOR FUNYou can look up Moses’ last words to God’s people. You’ll fi nd them in Deuteronomy, Chapter 33 (verses 26-29). Tell someone what you learned about God from these words.

PRAYERThank you, God, for having people like Moses write your words. I’m glad your words are written down for me to read in the Bible. Amen.

In The One Year Make-It-Stick Devotions, you’ll fi nd 66 book introductions—one for each book of the Bible.

The week and day help you keep track of which devo to do each day.

Each book introduction fea-tures an animal with a sound-alike Bible-book name.

A HoneyWord animal might be like the person who wrote that book of the Bible. Or it might be like the people whom the book is about.

The animal shows up in each cartoon of the book it repre-sents. When you see the cartoon in your mind, the animal helps you remember which book the daily devo is from.

HoneyWord chapter-number symbols appear near the animal in every cartoon. They help you recall which chapter the daily devo is from. (See the list of symbols on page 15.)

For a quick picture of what a Bible book is about, just read the second paragraph of the book-introduction page.

A make-it-stick activity helps you remember the Bible book and what it’s about. You can look up some Bible verses from that book in your Bible “just for fun,” then close your devo-tional time with a prayer.

12

Week 6, Saturday/SundayDEUTERONOMY, CHAPTER 6 (VERSES 6-8)You must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders.

DAILY DEVO

I stick like glue to what God says to do.God wants his words to click and stick in our hearts. He shows parents how to make this happen. He tells them to talk about his words at all kinds of fun times. Did you ever tie a string around your fi nger so you wouldn’t forget something important? Well, God told his people long ago to tie his commands to their hands, to wear them on their foreheads, and even to write them on their doors and gates (verse 9)! As you look at the Click-ers you’re learning about in this book, you, too, will see reminders of God’s Word everywhere you go. And you’ll stick like glue to what God says to do.

MAKE IT STICKThink about some fun times when you and your family read and talked about God’s Word together. Then gather some of the Click-ers that are helping you remember God’s Word. Choose a smaller one, such as a dime or a cereal fl ake, and dab the back of it with a glue stick. Then glue the item to a piece of paper. That’s a picture of how God’s Word is meant to stick in your heart.

59

PRAYERThank you, God, for all the things around me that remind me of your Word. I want to stick like glue to what you say to do. Amen.

CLICK-ER: GLUE STICKWhenever you see or use a gluestick, let this daily devo cling to your mind as it clicks and sticks. Doodlebug-eronomy with six-pick-up-stix reminds you that the devo is from Deuteronomy, Chapter 6.

At the top of each daily devo page you’ll fi nd the book and chapter location of each verse the daily devo (HoneyWord lesson) is about.

Daily verses are printed below the book and chapter location.

The 246 daily devos help you dive deep for treasure to keep. Every devo starts with a fun saying that will help you learn and remember the meaning of one small slice of the Bible.

One word in each devo (like glue) is called a Click-er. When-ever you see or think about it, the truth of the daily devo will click in your brain.

The short paragraph that follows helps you understand how to tie and apply this devo to your life.

Doing the fun activity and pray-ing the prayer help you stick like glue to what God says to do.

When you look at this picture of a big glue stick, the devo saying “I stick like glue to what God says to do” is triggered in your mind.

Whenever Doodlebug-eronomy shows up in a cartoon, you know the devo is from Deuter-onomy. The six-pick-up-stix lets you know that this daily devo is from chapter 6.

For extra click-and-stick power, read the words below the Click-er, so the cartoon can help you race to the right place every time.

For each weekend, you’ll see some review activity ideas. There’s also a related daily devo you might want to do on Sunday.

Whenever you’re ready, you can meet and greet your fi rst Old Testament animal friend, Genny the Jellyfi sh, on page 19.

HONEYWORD CHAPTER-NUMBER SYMBOLS

Here are the names for each chapter-number symbol. It’s easy to see why the symbols make sense. Notice how the key has the number 3 on it, the fl oorboard has 4 boards, the hive-hat has 5 layers, and so on.

One-on-a-bun = Chapter 1

Two-blue-shoes = Chapter 2

Three-is-the-key = Chapter 3

Four-on-the-fl oorboard = Chapter 4

Five-on-a-hive-hat = Chapter 5

Six-pick-up-stix = Chapter 6

Highway-seven-to-heaven = Chapter 7

Eight-under-skates = Chapter 8

Nine-foot-pine = Chapter 9

(A halo-is-a-hero-as-a-zero) = 0

One-on-a-bun plus a halo-is-a-hero-as-a-zero = Chapter 10

One-on-a-bun plus another one-on-a-bun = Chapter 11

One-on-a-bun plustwo-blue-shoes = Chapter 12

You get the idea! Check out a cartoon to see if you can read the chapter-number symbols.

Week 1, MondayBOOK OF GENESISGenny the Jellyfi sh

Jellyfi sh sounds like Genesis. A jellyfi sh is clear, just like everything God created in the beginning. When you see Genny the Jellyfi sh in a picture, you’ll know the daily devo is from Genesis. Connected to Genny are number symbols. (See page 15.) They make the chapter location of the devo click and stick.

Genesis is a book about beginnings. At fi rst everything was perfect and out in the open. There was no sin to cover up. Everything was pure and clear, like a see-through jellyfi sh fl oating in crystal blue water. But it didn’t stay that way. Adam and his madam, Eve, disobeyed God, and their sin muddied the water for all of us. Things have been cloudy ever since. One day God’s Son, Jesus, will return. Then God will create a new earth, and we’ll get back to clear blue see-through everything.

MAKE IT STICKTo make a tab for the book of Genesis in your Bible, tear off a sheet from a self-stick notepad. Cut a strip about one-half inch deep. At the sticky end, print Genny the Jellyfi sh. At the non-sticky end, draw a tiny jellyfi sh. (Or fi nd a picture that you can make smaller on a copier and paste it to the tab.) Stick your tab on the upper right corner of the page in your Bible where Genesis begins.

Whenever you see a jellyfi sh or think about one, remember Genny the Jelly fi sh and the book of Genesis.

JUST FOR FUNTo learn about the two children born in the Garden of Eden, fi nd Genesis, Chapter 4, in your Bible. You can read verses 3-16 to learn about the fi rst family. Who disobeyed God? What happened then?

PRAYERDear God, I’m glad there was no sin in the beginning. And I’m glad there will be no sin when Jesus returns. But I’m sorry that sin even came into the world at all. Help me not to cover up my sins. Please forgive me for ____. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

Week 1, TuesdayGENESIS, CHAPTER 1 (VERSE 1)In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

DAILY DEVO

In the beginning, God’s call got the ball rolling. Did you know that a very long time ago nothing was around except God? Then, when God decided the time was just right, he created everything. God made the sun, the moon, and the stars. He made the little ball we live on called Planet Earth. He made every living thing on Earth. He also created the sky above and the oceans below. God made the call to create every fi sh, bird, and animal. And when it was time to make people, God made that call too. None of this was an accident. In the big beginning, only God was big enough to make the call that got the ball rolling. And he’s the only one big and powerful enough to keep it going, day after day.

MAKE IT STICKRoll a ball across your kitchen fl oor or somewhere outdoors. Then ask yourself, Who made the call to get that ball rolling? Obviously, you made the decision to roll it. In the same way, God made the decision to create the universe and set it in motion. Your made-from-something ball stopped, but God’s made-from-nothing “Earth-ball” just keeps rolling and rolling. Isn’t God great?

20

PRAYERDear God, thank you for getting the ball rolling when you created the world. And thanks for keeping it rolling day after day and season after season. In Jesus’ name, amen.

CLICK-ER: BALLWhenever you see, play with, or think about a ball, let this picture roll through your mind as the daily devo clicks and sticks. Genny the Jellyfi sh with her one-on-a-bun will remind you that the devo is from Genesis, Chapter 1.

Week 1, WednesdayGENESIS, CHAPTER 1 (VERSE 27)So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

DAILY DEVO

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, God’s image is in us all.A mirror on its own is just a piece of glass with a special coating. What makes a mirror really special is the way it shows the fi gure or image in front of it. You probably used a mirror this morning to get ready for the day. Maybe you brushed your hair and made sure your clothes were on just right. Your mirror’s job was to show or refl ect your image. When God made people, he gave us the job of refl ecting his image like a mirror. That’s extra special, isn’t it? Everyone—including you—has God’s image inside. You refl ect what God is like just as your mirror refl ects how you look!

MAKE IT STICK Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

God’s image is in us all.

Are you able to read the words above? Probably not! To see clearly what the words say, hold them up to a mirror. Then you’ll be able to read and understand them. When we are kind and forgiving, we allow God’s love to be “refl ected” off our life like a mirror refl ects the way we look. Then everyone can understand God better.

21

PRAYERDear God, please help me to be more like you. I want people to see what you are like when they look at what I do and say each day. In Jesus’ name, amen.

CLICK-ER: MIRRORWhenever you see, use, or think about a mirror, let your mind refl ect on this picture as the daily devo clicks and sticks. Genny the Jellyfi sh holding a one-on-a-bun will remind you that the devo is from Genesis, Chapter 1.

Week 1, ThursdayGENESIS, CHAPTER 3 (VERSE 1)The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”

DAILY DEVO

I make a mistake when I listen to the snake.Satan is tricky and speaks through whatever gets our attention. The Bible says that in the beginning, snakes didn’t have to crawl on the ground. They were very smart and very clever. So Satan used a snake to sneak up on Eve and ask: “Did God really say that?” Whenever any voice tells us not to believe God’s words in the Bible, remember that the devil is behind it—coiled and hissing at us like a snake. Don’t listen. Don’t even get close! Call out to God for help to understand Satan’s tricks. And be ready to go the other way.

MAKE IT STICK Coil an old shoelace on a table. Pretend that the plastic tip is the head of a snake. While holding the tip between two fi ngers, remember a way Satan has tried to trick you. (Has he ever said it was okay to steal? Or to be unkind?) As soon as you remember Satan’s lie, say: “I make a mistake when I listen to the snake.” Then sweep the pretend snake off the table and step on it. That’s a picture of God’s promise in Romans 16:20 to “crush Satan under your feet.”

22

PRAYERDear God, thank you for helping me listen to your words in the Bible so I won’t believe anything Satan tries to tell me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

CLICK-ER: SNAKEWhenever you see, touch, or think about a snake, let this picture slither through your mind as the daily devo clicks and sticks. Genny the Jellyfi sh with a three-is-the-key is a reminder that the devo is from Genesis, Chapter 3.

Week 1, FridayGENESIS, CHAPTER 7 (VERSE 18)As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat fl oated safely on the surface.

DAILY DEVO

God is the lifeboat that keeps me afl oat.Genesis 6:5 says that in Noah’s time people’s thoughts were “consistently and totally evil.” Noah was the only person who always tried to please God and do exactly what God asked. God trusted Noah, so God told him to build a big boat that would fl oat way above the Flood that was going to cover everything. Noah obeyed. God’s directions became the lifeboat that kept Noah and his family alive. God is still in the lifeboat business today. He’s always looking for someone who will climb aboard and get involved in his big plan for the world. And he’ll be there to help in time of trouble. He wants to fl oat your boat. Will you let him?

MAKE IT STICK Form a piece of aluminum foil into the shape of a boat. Then watch it fl oat in a pool, a bucket of water, or a bathtub. It fl oats because it has sides that keep the water out. Now fl atten the sides and see what happens. It sinks! When we don’t obey God, it’s like taking away the sides of our boat. But when we obey God, he becomes the boat that keeps us afl oat.

23

PRAYERDear God, sometimes my problems seem so big that I feel like I’m going to sink. But when I obey you, Lord, you keep my life afl oat. Thank you! Amen.

CLICK-ER: BOATWhenever you see, ride in, or think about a boat, let this picture fl oat through your mind as the daily devo clicks and sticks. Genny the Jellyfi sh holding a highway- seven-to-heaven sign reminds you that the devo is from Genesis, Chapter 7.

Week 1, Saturday/SundayGENESIS, CHAPTER 9 (VERSES 13, 16)I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. . . . When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.

DAILY DEVO

God’s rainbow is the seal of his special deal.The Flood may have been the fi rst rain anybody ever saw. And what a rain it was! Can you imagine 40 days and 40 nights of nonstop rain? When Noah and his family fi nally got their feet back on the ground, they probably hoped there would never be another storm like that! Well, God promised he would never again send a fl ood to destroy all living things. And God sent a rainbow as a sign that his promise is real. He gave Noah and his family—and us—a permanent deal and sealed it with a rainbow.

MAKE IT STICKColor a rainbow, cut it out, and punch a hole near one end. Tie a string to the hole. Punch another hole at the top of a paper circle (the seal) on which you’ve written “His Special Deal.” Tie the other end of the string to that paper. Then punch a hole through the top center of the rainbow and put another string through it. You can hang your rainbow from a kitchen cabinet. As you reach for a glass to get a drink of water, let the rainbow remind you of God’s promise.

24

PRAYERThank you, Lord, for beautiful rainbows. Every time I see one in the sky, I’ll remember that you always keep your promises. Amen.

CLICK-ER: RAINBOWWhenever you see or think about a rainbow (paper or real), let this picture fl ood your heart as the daily devo clicks and sticks. Genny the Jellyfi sh on a nine-foot-pine reminds you that the devo is from Genesis, Chapter 9.

WEEKEND ACTIVITY IDEAS(1) Highlight the verses for Week 1 in your Bible. (2) Find Genny the Jellyfi sh in each picture for this week and identify the chapter-number symbols. (3) Start a collection of Click-ers—real items or pictures of them. (4) Say the daily devos for Week 1. (5) Check out Saturday/Sunday of Week 3 for a related devo on being in the crowd that follows God’s cloud.

WATER, WATER, WATERThe jellyfi sh is 99 percent water and so clear that

the organs inside it can easily be seen.

WHO IS DR. EMMETT COOPER?

Dr. Emmett Cooper is a warrior-poet for children who champions the cause of making God’s Word stick. After creating the revolutionary “HoneyWord® Way of Learning,” he fi eld-tested his materials for 20 years prior to the publication of the HoneyWord Bible. This was accomplished through key churches, Christian schools, camps, homeschooling groups, and club programs throughout the United States—as well as in 12 foreign countries. The tens of thousands of children who participated in these tests proved conclusively that God’s Word can really, really stick, because HoneyWord really, really works!

Emmett is the author of the HoneyWord Bible, Making God’s Word Stick, God Has Eyes in the Back of His Head, and God Loves Moo.
