To whom shall you liken me? Said the Lord. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who had created these things? It's God, the Holy One for He is strong in power, not even one failed.
Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV) Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
How far can you go and how long can you wait upon the second coming of God? He said those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Do not be anxious for anything, instead pray that God will give you the strength to endure.
While we are in the waiting period let us realize this thing.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
In what we shall we glorify God in our body?
Romans 12:1 (KJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
I've been a sunday school teacher ever since college days. This has been my commitment to God to serve Him with the talent He bestowed me. I'm happy to see kids at church learning great stories from the bible. Teach them songs and dances and ofcourse let them memorize verses from the bible. We had games earlier - paint me a picture is the title of the game. And I could see they love the games due to their active participation. Here are some of the photos they had played earlier.
Crucifixion of Christ
When Adam and Eve was tempted by the serpent
The good samaritan
When Moses splits the red sea
Jesus feeds the multitude of 5,000 people
And ofcourse our memory verse for today.
Luke 18:16 (KJV) But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
God also reminds us in Hebrews 10:25,
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Ladies presentation
