The Fruit of the Spirit is … SELF CONTROL

Daniel and His Friends Obeyed God based on Daniel 1

In the time of King Jehoiakim (juh HOI uh kim) of Judah, the city of Jerusalem was captured by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar ordered that some of the Israelites from the royal families be taken back to Babylon for training. They were to be smart, nice looking young men who would be able to serve in the king’s palace. They would be trained for 3 years before being brought before the king. Daniel and his friends Shadrach, Meshack, and Abednego were among the young men taken.

The king ordered that the young men be given food and drink from the king’ table. But it was against God’s laws to eat the kind of food that the king ate. So Daniel asked the person in charge if he could have other food. The person in charge wanted to help Daniel, but he worried, “The king ordered that you be given this food and drink. If you start to look thinner and less healthy than the other young men, I’m afraid the king might kill me.”

So Daniel spoke to the guard who gave them their food, “Please test us for 10 days. Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then see if we look healthy or not.”

The guard agreed. At the end of 10 days, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego looked better and healthier than all the other young men who were eating the king’s food! So the guard agreed to keep giving them vegetables to eat and water to drink.

Because of their faithfulness and self-control, God made Daniel and his friends wisdom… The king found they were many times better than anyone else in the kingdom!

The king’s food was probably very delicious and tempting to Daniel and his friends! But God’s gift of self-control helped them make choices that pleased God!

Gather some bubbles or make your own using this recipe: 5 cups water, ¾ cup corn syrup, 2 cups dish soap (like Dawn or Joy). Mix first two ingredients in large container, then add in the dish soap and stir (don’t shake or it will be too foamy)…recipe from Living Well Mom website.

Go outside if you can and let your kids pop as many bubbles as they want for one minute. Then explain that you are going to blow bubbles for another minute but they can't pop any of them. After both rounds talk about when they really wanted to pop the bubbles, but they chose not to, that was choosing self-control. If they popped the bubbles during the 2nd round you can talk about how that wasn’t choosing self-control. Pray together that God can help each family member become more self-controlled.

El Fruto del Espíritu es… DOMINIO PROPIO

Daniel y sus amigos obedecieron a Dios basado en Daniel 1

En la época del rey Joacim de Judá, la ciudad de Jerusalén fue capturada por el rey Nabucodonosor de Babilonia. El rey Nabucodonosor ordenó que algunos de los Israelitas de las familias reales fueran llevados de regreso a Babilonia para entrenarlos. Debían ser jóvenes inteligentes y agradables que podrían servir en el palacio del rey. Serían entrenados durante 3 años antes de ser llevados ante el rey. Daniel y sus amigos Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego se encontraban entre los jóvenes apresados.

El rey ordenó que a los jóvenes se les diera comida y bebida de la mesa del rey. Pero estaba en contra de las leyes de Dios comer la clase de comida que comía el rey. Entonces Daniel le preguntó a la persona a cargo si podía tener otra comida. La persona a cargo quería ayudar a Daniel, pero se preocupó y le dijo: “El rey ordenó que les dieran esta comida y bebida. Si empiezas a verte más delgado y menos saludable que los otros jóvenes, me temo que el rey podría matarme ".

Entonces Daniel le habló al guardia que les dio su comida: “Por favor, pruébanos durante 10 días y danos verduras para comer y agua para beber. Luego veamos si nos vemos saludables o no ".

El guardia estuvo de acuerdo. Al final de los 10 días, Daniel, Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego se veían mejor y más saludables que todos los demás jóvenes que estaban comiendo la comida del rey. Así que el guardia accedió a seguir dándoles verduras para comer y agua para beber.

Debido a su fidelidad y dominio propio, Dios hizo que Daniel y sus amigos fueran sabios ... ¡El rey descubrió que ellos eran mucho mejor que cualquier otra persona en el reino!

¡La comida del rey probablemente fue muy deliciosa y tentadora para Daniel y sus amigos! ¡Pero el don del dominio propio de Dios les ayudó a tomar decisiones que agradaron a Dios!

Utiliza burbujas o has unas usando esta receta: 5 tazas de agua, ¾ taza de jarabe de maíz, 2 tazas de jabón para platos (como Dawn o Joy). Mezcla los dos primeros ingredientes en un recipiente grande, luego agrega el jabón para platos y revuelve (no lo agites o estará demasiado espumoso)… receta del sitio web Living Well Mom.

Sí pueden, salgan y deja que tus hijos revienten tantas burbujas como quieran durante un minuto. Luego explica que vas a hacer más burbujas durante un minuto, pero que esta vez no pueden reventar ninguna de ellas. Después de ambas rondas comenta sobre cuánto realmente querían hacer reventar las burbujas, pero decidieron no hacerlo, eso fue elegir el dominio propio. En caso de que si hayan reventado las burbujas durante la segunda ronda, puedes hablar sobre cómo eso no fue elegir dominio propio. Oren juntos para que Dios pueda ayudar a cada miembro de la familia a tener más dominio propio.
