Subject: Free resources for January's character focus

This month's character focus is Wisdom: "Seeing and responding to life’s situations from God’s frame of reference"

This month, our character focus is Wisdom. The operational definition of wisdom is “seeing and responding to life’s situations from God’s frame of reference.”


How can someone gain wisdom? God’s Word tells us that “the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). To fear God is to have reverence for and awe of Him.


This reverence for God motivates children to continue learning, to rightly apply knowledge, and to choose wise company. As we read the Bible and pray, we can cultivate our understanding of Who God is.

This free download includes a few sample parts of a lesson. Each booklet in the comprehensive children’s curriculum contains four complete lessons. A lesson is comprised of a Bible story and questions, a memory verse, and a craft or activity. The character quality is reinforced with a corresponding hymn history and sheet music, an overview of the character quality, and suggested resources for further study. Through this study, children are encouraged to study and obey God’s Word so they know how to act wisely in everyday situations.
