Fizzing Hearts Devotional

1 Corinthians 13

1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Fizzlebop Devotional:

What does the Bible say about love?

The Bible is the most definitive (which means complete and trusted) book of knowledge, and its definition is the exact way God wants us to understand and practice his magnificent creation of love.

In fact, in verse 13, the Bible says love is the greatest of the three things that will last forever. The greatest is love.

Guess what? God loved the world he created so much that he gave his Son as a sacrifice so that we could be forgiven of our sins and live with him in heaven eternally (which means forever). It’s the most fizztastic way he could show his love.

Love isn’t about a box of chocolates—or fizzy hearts. It’s about caring for those around us unconditionally—without jealousy, forgiving them, having faith and hope, and remaining steadfast through life’s trials. It’s about having patience and kindness for everyone in our lives, whether family members, friends, or strangers we have only just met.

So if you’re sending any valentines today, do it with the pure love God gives to you.

Prayer Time:

Amazing Creator, you designed love, and you showed us just how much you love us when you sent your Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. May we learn to practice the patience, kindness, and forgiveness that is your love. Amen.

Questions:

What parts of God’s definition of love do you need to work on?

Devotional for January 2024 (from Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop)

Party Poppers Devotional

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (KJV)
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Fizzlebop Devotional:

As the year comes to a close, I like to look back and ponder what the year held, both the good and the bad. There are always things I think I could have done better, and there are things I celebrate having done well. There are things that were out of my control, and there are things that I had to leave up to God.

Then I look forward to the year ahead. What do I want to accomplish and explore? What do I want to improve? I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions (which are firm commitments to do something), but I do enjoy making a list of things that I’d like to try, improve upon, or accomplish in the next year.

Have you ever made a list of goals? If you did, what would be at the top?

I recognize that my list will change throughout the year. God will open some doors, and he may close others, even if only temporarily. In my heart I understand that God knows what is best for my life. I’ll admit there are times when I fool myself into thinking I know what’s best. The thing is, I have no idea what the future holds. Life changes, but God does not, and he knows what is in store for each of us.

Turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 3 in your Bible. Verse 1 tells us, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” Keep reading, all the way through verse 8.

These verses are a list of opposites, telling us that God has foreseen (which means already knows) everything that will happen under him. He isn’t caught by surprise. He knows the right time to weep and the right time to laugh, to plant and to uproot. What matters is that we trust in him as we move through these seasons of life.

As you prepare for the New Year, don’t make resolutions you can’t keep. Make goals of what you’d like to do or change this year, and then give it all over to God in prayer. Trust him with your desires, and trust him to know the timing of every moment of your life.

Prayer Time:

Amazing Creator, thank you for new beginnings and for the opportunity to make our lives new in you. Thank you that we can always rely on you to be with us as we experience change in our lives. Amen.

Quetions:

How can you make God a bigger focus in your life this year?

Think of one thing you can do to help your community or family this year.

The Story of St. Nicholas

12/2/2023

Featured in Faith and Science with Dr. Fizzlebop:
Fizzing Christmas Trees experiment

You probably have many wondrous Christmas traditions. At the Fizzlebop home, we exuberantly celebrate Advent with various activities, we open special pajamas on Christmas Eve, we make fizzy Christmas trees like you just did, and we celebrate Jesus’ birthday with a birthday cake! We also have a tradition called St. Nicking, where we leave gifts anonymously (which means secretly) on the doorstep of someone who needs a little extra at Christmas.

Have you ever heard of a man named St. Nicholas, also known as St. Nick? St. Nick lived a long time ago (around AD 280) in a place called Asia Minor, which is part of modern-day Turkey (the country, not the bird). As a boy, he traveled widely with his parents and saw many magnificent things, but sadly both of his parents died in an epidemic (which is an out-break of sickness), leaving him an orphan. Nicholas inherited his parents’ fortune, and as a strong Christian, he lived out Jesus’ teachings on generosity.

We can learn what Jesus had to say about being generous in the story of the Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:17-31). Have you read that part of the Bible? If not, turn there now and check it out!

Jesus told the rich young man, “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

What the young rich man found to be a huge obstacle, Nicholas followed with all his heart. He gave generously from his inheritance and often gave anonymously. Not only did Nicholas want to give as Jesus had commanded, but he didn’t want to be praised or glorified by doing so. He knew that all he had came from God, and therefore it wasn’t really his at all.

To me, St. Nick is such a marvelous example of what Christmas is all about. When God gave us his Son, he gave the greatest gift he could. Jesus gave his life so people could be saved. It’s a free gift for anyone who chooses to follow him. Can you see how St. Nick’s selfless giving pointed toward what God and his Son, Jesus, both gave freely?

This Christmas, consider how you can give generously and anonymously to someone who needs to feel God’s exuberant, overwhelming love. I promise you’ll feel fizztastic inside, because when we do what God asks, we are filled with wondrous joy.

Prayer Time

As a family, pray for friends, family members, and people in your community who might need a little extra support this year. Ask God to reveal needs to you throughout the Christmas season.

Devotional Questions

What traditions does your family have at Christmas?

Are there any new traditions you’d like to start this year? (We have some suggestions here)

What is a way you can celebrate Jesus’ birthday by showing his love to someone in your community?

Speaking of Saint Nicholas Checkout this New Christmas Book

Can two girls secretly fill a neighbor's Christmas with joy?

Two sisters set out on a wintry adventure with one important goal: give Mrs. Umberoach a wondrous surprise for Christmas Day. But what will the girls find when they arrive to deliver their surprise at the mysterious house at the end of the street—the one where kites go missing and strange rumors abound? With the help of their mom, the sisters discover the joy of giving instead of receiving and that friends, indeed, are everywhere if only we look.

St. Nicking at Night is an adventure about seeing past appearances and loving your neighbor as yourself. Combining the anonymous giving spirit of Saint Nick with the three gifts of the magi (wisemen), your family will discover a new way to celebrate Christmas with an exciting new tradition you'll want to continue year after year.

Create a New Family Tradition

What is Saint Nicking?

A fun way to show God’s love to someone in need.

How do we start?

Ask your church or a local shelter to find a family in need. Learn the names and ages of each family member. If possible, find out clothing sizes, interests and specific needs.

How does it work?

Plan a Saint Nicking party as a family. You can also invite others to join the fun. Assign one member from the family in need to each family who wants to help. With a list of suggested items in hand, everyone heads out to shop. When everyone finishes shopping, the wrapping party begins. You can turn on Christmas music and enjoy cookies and hot chocolate as gifts are being wrapped. Now it’s time to deliver the presents. The key to a successful Saint Nicking is to deliver the packages without being seen (like Saint Nick). You can send one car to deliver the gifts. You could also wear fun disguises. Or you could ask your church or local shelter to deliver the gifts anonymously. Finally, imagine the joy of the family who receives gifts picked just for them! And pray for them to have a wondrous Christmas!

Squishy Turkeys Devotional

Read the Experiment

Psalm 107:8-9

8 Let them praise the Lord for his great love
and for the wonderful things he has done for them.
9 For he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.

Fizzlebop Devotional:

Thanksgiving is a time of reflection and a time to be grateful for what God has done. In my family we have a tradition on Thanksgiving. Before we eat dinner, we go around the room and share what we are thankful for. Let me tell you, we have a big extended family that celebrates Thanksgiving together, so when I was a kid, this time of sharing seemed to last for weeks . . . especially because the dessert table with all my favorites was set up in the same room, including my mom’s apple pie (I was never a big pumpkin pie fan)! But as I grew, I began to truly appreciate this time of reflection. As I listened to what my uncle, or cousin, or grandma were thankful for that year, I was filled with gratefulness for the many, many things God was always doing in the lives of the people I love.
And that was just my family! Imagine what God is doing every second of every day all around the world for the billions of people who live here on earth. The world should be bursting with thankfulness and happiness. Psalm 107:8-9 says, “Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them. For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”
In the Bible, we also read, “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NIV). “All circumstances” doesn’t only mean when life is fizztastic—it means even when life is arduous (which means difficult). These are the times when we should turn our eyes and hearts to God and pray. These are the times we must go deeper into his arms of hope, love, and joy.

Fizz Fact:

Thanksgiving holidays are celebrated all around the world, though they’re not all on the same day. In Germany, the holiday is called Erntedankfest, and in the United Kingdom, it’s known as the Harvest Festival.

Prayer Time:

As a family, use your list of thankfulness to give thanks to God and reflect on what he has done for you.

Questions:

THANKFULNESS LIST
As a family, come up with twelve things you are thankful for. They can be from the past year or anytime during your life. Share why you’re thankful for each of these things.

It’s back to school season again, which means the daily routine:

Wakeup
Breakfast
Get Dressed
Go to School/Work
Classes/Meetings
Lunch
Classes/Meetings
School Pickup
Activities
Dinner
Devotions
Sleep

Now my list might not be complete, so let me know what I missed. But I believe an item on this list that I believe is perhaps the most important. Yes, indeed, sleep is essential, but another one is even more important. Yes, the three meals are essential, but not those. This one feeds your spirit.

Devotions, yes, your time with God. Prayer and reading your Bible fills YOU, your soul, your mind, your emotions. We need fuel from God, which happens by spending time with Him daily. The time with our Creator helps us make it through our day.

When I haven’t spent time with our Lord, my attitude sours, and I grow weary and tired from the rigors of our world. Only when He is at the forefront of my mind do I feel full and can reflect His love outward. Even my interactions with my family, friends, and co-workers are better. That's because when we fill ourselves with the good things God has for us (learning through His word), we begin to exude (which also means living out) Him in our attitudes and actions!

So I want to encourage you to find a devotional to start the school year with, read it, stick with it, and find that time with God.

I’ve got a great list of devotionals I wrote up in a post to get you started, and I would love to hear about the devotionals you use in the post's comments section.
Check out the list at the button below.

I hope this list of devotionals helps you start an awesome devotional time at home as you begin your back to school season.
