Rock a Bye Baby - Lesson 31 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

 Rock a bye baby on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

New Living Translation (NLT)

 But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.

 

Exodus 2

Moses In The Nile

We all want to feel protected, and it is odd that the most widely sung song to calm us speaks of dropping from a tree.  The good thing is that our God is a mighty protector!  We can certainly trust in Him!  If we look to a tiny baby Moses traveling in the Nile river with the 'protection' of only a basket we may be able to grasp His power in protection.  For moses to be place infested with hippos, snakes, bacteria, and alligators just to be found by likely the ONE person in Egypt that could save his life is really showing the protective power of God!

Pastor Derek shows what is is like when we get close to bad things in this world without God, and as well when we have God.

Queen of Hearts - Lesson 30 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summer's day;
The Knave of Hearts he stole the tarts and took them clean away.
The King of Hearts called for the tarts and beat the Knave full sore
The Knave of Hearts brought back the tarts and
vowed he'd steal no more.

Ephesians 4:28

English Standard Version (ESV)

 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

 

Joshua 7

Achan's Theft

No matter the account of theft, even one in 'nursery rhyme' form, there are serious consequences for committing the act.  The Knave is beat and decides to never steal again, Achan did not get the luxury of being able to change his mind of the act.  It is true he likely decided to never steal again, but due to the nature of his theft, he and his family were killed.  Would you rather take the chance now to decide that stealing is not a good idea, or end up in a place where your consequences are so great that you have no life to live that choice?

Little Boy Blue - Lesson 29 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow the cow's in the corn.
But where's the boy who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack fast asleep.
Will you wake him? No, not I - for if I do, he's sure to cry

1 Thessalonians 5:17

New International Version (NIV)

pray continually,

Luke 22

The Disciples Falling Asleep While Praying

  

Just like Little Boy Blue, the disciples fell asleep at an important time.  The good thing is that Jesus did not fear their 'tears' when waking them.  Prayer is an amazing tool, and we really see this in the life of Christ.  He prayed SO much, and when in His most desperate time of need he asked other to actively pray with Him.  His example is great - we really should not be forsaking the ability to speak with our Father in heaven!

Mary Had A Little Lamb - Lesson 28 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Mary had a little lamb its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day, which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play, to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out, but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about till Mary did appear.
"Why does the lamb love Mary so?" the eager children cry;
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know" the teacher did reply.

Deuteronomy 31:6

New International Version (NIV)

Be strong and courageous.Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

 Exodus 13 & 14 

Israelites being led by God

Mary's little lamb has an almost crazy connection to Christ always being with us.  The lamb is always with her, but goes to school - against the rules - and politely waits for her to return to be with her again.  When exiting Egypt the Israelites had some of the most amazing experiences with God.  To be able to follow Him as a cloud, or by fire would be amazing.  They did not move unless God moved - and even when it seemed that God was not with them, He was their rear guard protecting them from their enemies.  God is like this for us as well, and that is something to be grateful for!

Pat-A-Cake Pat-A-Cake - Lesson 27 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.

Bake me a cake as fast as you can;

Pat it and prick it and mark it with B,

Put it in the oven for baby and me.

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man.

Bake me a cake as fast as you can;

Roll it up, roll it up;

And throw it in a pan!

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man

James 1:17

New International Version (NIV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above,coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Matthew 7

Ask for bread.. get a stone?

The playful banter of this 'Nursery Rhyme' is of a companionship between two people that care for one another with sharing.  In Matthew 7 Jesus is talking about the exact same relationship that we have with Him.. with His father.  That God wants to share with us - he wants to fill our needs and give us what we ask for.

The Muffin Man - Lesson 26 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Do [or "Oh, do"] you know the muffin man,

The muffin man, the muffin man,
Do you know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane?

Yes [or "Oh, yes"], I know the muffin man,
The muffin man, the muffin man,
Yes, I know the muffin man,
Who lives in Drury Lane.

Philippians 3:8

New Living Translation (NLT)

 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord...

John 18 (Denials)

John 21 (Redemption)

Peter's Denial of Christ and redemption

The Muffin man song is all about knowing someone and declaring that you do.  If We know Christ we should not be fearful of admitting that we do, but many times we are just like Peter was.  Sometimes it may not seem 'cool' to be a believer, or it may not seem like if you admit it you are going to get what you want.  While God will forgive us of our doubts, just like he did for Peter, we should try and be steadfast in our faith to Him!

Hickory Dickory Dock - Lesson 25 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

Ecclesiastes 3:1

New Living Translation (NLT)

For everything there is a season,
    a time for every activity under heaven.

1 Samuel 26

David's many opportunities to kill Saul

This one is simple - Time is something we all deal with - God knows what is best for us, and when it is best for us.  David was giving chance after chance.. after chance to kill Saul and take the station of King, right fully anointed to him by God.  The good thing about David in this time of his life, He knew that it was not the right way to take what was 'his'.  He still held a high respect for Saul and waited for God to move Saul out.  

Everything really does have it's time and it's place.  Each kid is not driving around town because they are not old enough to legally do it.  It is possible that they could learn and do it, but the time is not right for it.  If we can all learn how to see things like David did, and have God given discernment - we would have a bit easier time in 'life'. 

The Water & Oil (Object Lesson about Time and Place)!!

When we talked about Hickory Dickory Dock, we discussed Ecclesiastes and how there is a time and place for everything, using oil and water as an object lesson.

Three Little Kittens - Lesson 24 of Nursery Rhyme and Silly Songs

 

Three little kittens they lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear

Our mittens we have lost.

What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

No, you shall have no pie.

The three little kittens they found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,

Our mittens we have found!

Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,

And you shall have some pie.

Purr-r, purr-r, purr-r,

Oh, let us have some pie.

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie;

Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear

Our mittens we have soiled.

What! soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then they began to sigh,

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

Then they began to sigh.

The three little kittens they washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry;

Oh! mother dear, do you not hear,

Our mittens we have washed!

What! washed your mittens, then you’re good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by.

Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.

We smell a rat close by.

Psalm 19:14

New International Version (NIV)

 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
   be pleasing in your sight,
   LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Genesis 4

Cain and Abel - Giving The pleasing sacrifice

Just like the three little kittens, Cain and Abel had a chance to do right by an authority figure, but unlike in the case with the kittens - the two brothers did not act the same way.  Abel's sacrifice was the first born and best of what he had, while Cain's is presumably not.  God even gives Cain a chance to admit his mistake and warns him of the sin that can be birthed by his anger.  IT is important that anything we do for those in authority over us - is the best we can do.  God wants us to happily do things in such as way that we are doing them for Him directly.  Our attitudes are a big part of that!  Will you be like Abel, or Cain?  We also need to remember that there is nothing that WE can do to make it 'all better' so we have to trust in God and accept Christ within us to properly 'do right' by God.  In the way we accept the sacrifice of Christ we show whether we will have sin birthed within us - or if that sin will be cleansed.
