Raulie Considers the Poor

Or Rally - 

I shrunk the verse down by 70%

so the words would fit the chart.

At the beginning of your lesson:

Use one to read out loud having 

the kids repeat after you.

Cut one into words

for the memory verse chart.

Read the verse together once.

Then have a child remove a word.

Read the verse again, then remove another word.

Keep on doing the same thing until all the words are gone.

By the end, they should be able to recite the verse

without reading them.

Coloring Sheet 

We hide God's word in our hearts that we can know how to live for and to please God.

Knowing God's word and prayer helps us make good decisions in life.

God is the one who teaches us through his Word, to hide his word in our hearts.

Raulie has a sensitive heart towards God and towards other people.  

God teaches us to love him and to love others.  Firstly and most importantly we are to love the family of God.  We learn Bible verses to hide God's word in our hearts.

 Psalms 119:11 ¶ Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Practice saying your verses and practice telling other people.

Raulie Considers the Poor

Raulie, worked a newspaper route early in the morning before school.  He rode his bike from home to home.  One morning he saw a family rummaging the trashcans for food.  One of them had no shoes on his feet.   His heart felt sad but he didn’t know what to do.  He couldn’t leave off his job to check on them.  He was specifically instructed by his father to stay with the route and to get home as soon as possible to eat and to get his bag for school. 

 Once Raulie was at school, he continued to think about the people he saw and decided all he could do was pray.  The best thing we can do is pray for someone when we can do nothing else.

 Raulie decided later that he would put a dollar of his pay into a separate envelope.  He did this each time he got paid.   Soon Raulie collected ten dollars, then soon it became twenty dollars. 

 Raulie was out on his newspaper route and noticed his neighbor fumbling about in shoes that were falling apart.  He thought in his heart that his neighbor needed help but he knew he needed to wait and talk to his parents before helping anyone. 

 That morning he had time to talk to his father about their neighbor needing help.  His father agreed to go to check on their elderly neighbor.  "Dad, He said, I’ve been able to save twenty dollars towards helping anyone who I see that needs help."  "I’m so proud of you, my son,  His father said.  "I will double the twenty dollars if we see we need to help our neighbor. "

 His father prayed with his son and they left together to check on their neighbor Mr. Banner.

Mr. Banner weakly opened the door when he heard his doorbell.  They talked to Mr. Banner for a while about his needs.  Mr. Banner had no food and had no clothes to warm him through the winter.  He was recovering from being very sick. 

 Raulie's family, put their money together and went shopping to buy Mr. Banner winter clothing and both fresh and dry goods. 

 God wants us to help those that can not help themselves. The bible says in:

 James 2:16

And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Proverbs 29:7

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

 When we pray, God will lead us to know who to help and when we should help.  We know, that God wants us to consider others.  Sometimes God wants us, to give just to show the love of God.  It may be just as small as an iced cookie with sprinkles or $100.00 towards a new baby’s future.  Sometimes God blesses us just because we need to know we are loved.  Other times God wants us to give to those who are truly in need like Mr. Banner. 

We also need to remember that God promises blessings to his children that give without grudging.  We are to give of our tithes and our offerings to the Lord.  He promises that he will open the windows of heaven and shower us with blessings.  He also promises if we do not hear the cry of the poor even though we have the ability to help, then God will not hear our cries when we need help.   

 Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Proverbs 21:13 ¶ Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

 Remember God considered us as poor lost sinners in need.  What did we need?  We needed saved from our sins.  God paid the price and provided a way.  Jesus Christ his precious Son came to die for our sins.  Will you believe that Christ died for you and paid the price for your sins?  Will you believe that you are forgiven under his blood, shed for you?  Jesus arose from the dead and when you trust him, he will live in your heart and comfort your soul as you trust him and praise him.  Ask him today for his great salvation which is found only through his Son, Christ Jesus.

 I pray this in Christ's name, that you will be saved and know Jesus today.

Father God, If there is anyone here today that does know you as Saviour, I pray you will open their eyes and hearts today to understand that without Jesus we are in need spiritually and that's why God sent his Only-begotten Son to die for our sins.  God considered the poor both physically and spiritually.  I pray you will use us today to teach your truth clearly as we teach.  Give each one here the understanding of your love and forgiveness.  I pray anyone here who needs to be saved would truly want to know you and live for you today..  In Christ Jesus' name, I pray this amen.
