Monday Devotional
Song
I Need My Heavenly Father (Children’s #18)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:1–6, 32–37
Discussion
- When this revelation was received, Joseph Smith was facing harsh criticism from several members of the Church who had turned against him.
- What warnings did the Lord give regarding “the wicked and rebellious”?
- How are such warnings evidence of God’s love?
- When we make a choice, there is always a consequence. A good choice gives a good consequence. It’s like picking up a stick – we can’t pick up one end of a stick and not pick up the other end.
Journal Entry
What good choice can I make today?
Activity
Get several popsicle sticks. Write choices on one end and consequences on the other end. (For example: eat your dinner, get dessert. Don’t clean up toys, get toys taken away.) Take turns picking up popsicle sticks.
Tuesday Devotional
Song
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:7–12
Discussion
- Signs or miracles alone do not produce lasting faith. Early in 1831 Ezra Booth, a Methodist minister in Kirtland, decided to be baptized after he saw Joseph Smith miraculously heal the arm of Booth’s friend Elsa Johnson.
- And yet, within just a few months, Booth lost his faith and became critical of the Prophet. How could this be, considering the miracle he’d witnessed?
- Another example is Laman and Lemuel. They saw an angel and saw Nephi with great power from God, but they still turned wicked.
- The song we sang talks about different ways we show faith.
- How do you think the Lord wants you to think and feel about signs? They can either strengthen our faith or they can make our sins worse if we choose to ignore them.
- Instead of looking for signs to get our testimonies, we should work on our faith with scriptures, prayer, and keeping the commandments. The Holy Ghost will give us our faith.
Journal Entry
What can I do today to strengthen my faith?
Activity
Plant a seed or do something else mentioned in the song.
Wednesday Devotional
Song
Hum Your Favorite Hymn (Children’s #152)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:13–23
Discussion
- Sometimes people make wrong choices. But no one wakes up one day and suddenly decides to be bad when they have always been good.
- A bad choice (a sin) usually starts when we think bad thoughts a lot of the time.
- If we leave those bad thoughts in our heads, they move into our hearts. We need to get rid of them.
- Some ways to help keep our thoughts clean is by listening to good music, watching good TV shows, having good friends, reading scriptures, saying prayers, and going to church.
- When we get a bad or wrong thought, we can do any of those things to help invite the Spirit and get the bad thought out.
Journal Entry
What things can I do when I get a bad thought?
Activity
Thursday Devotional
Song
Seek the Lord Early (Children’s #108)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:24–31, 38-54
Discussion
- After the Lord had identified where Zion would be built, the Saints in Ohio still needed direction about when to begin moving and where to get the money to buy the land.
- These verses the Lord tells them about what they should do.
- The Lord not only tells us about commandments and righteousness (spiritual things), but he also can help tell us about our money and property (temporal things).
- We can get direction from the Lord about both temporal and spiritual things because He loves us.
Journal Entry
What is a temporal or spiritual thing I can pray about today?
Activity
Friday Devotional

Our Chapel Is a Sacred Place (Children’s #30b)
Scripture
Doctrine and Covenants 63:55–66

- How do we treat our treasures?
- The Lord gives us valuable treasures – they are sacred things.
- What do these verses tell us about how we should handle sacred things?
