I Can Obey & God Forgives Me!
This Sunday kids are learning "A Heart After God Obeys" and "God Forgives Me" as we look at David's legacy in 1 Chronicles 17.
As I look at this story, I'm reminded of how often I'm like David. I think I have these grand ideas of what the Lord needs from me. David thought that he needed to build a house for the Lord. That sounds like a really great thing! However, that wasn't in line with what the Lord wanted. He spoke really clearly through Nathan that it wasn't David's role to build a place for the Lord to dwell.
I can try to run ahead of the Lord, busying myself with things that I think are going to serve Him well. Something He's kind enough to remind me of, is that I get to wait on Him. I get to be led by the Holy Spirit and partner with Him but his ways are not my ways and his thoughts are not my thoughts. Ask the Lord to speak. Ask him to clarify what's yours to do. Bring your ideas to him and ask him what he thinks about them. We serve a God who speaks, and He'll answer this for you along with measures of peace!
Remember, as we're walking through this series we're focusing on being united in prayer over 2 things: what the heart of God is like and how we (us and kids) can be people after God's heart.
Gods Heart- God Forgives Me
My Heart- A Heart After God Obeys
This week let's pray for these things:
- Father, show me YOUR HEART! You are a God who speaks things and they're created. Everything is within your hands and we get to partner with you as citizens of Heaven. Open my ears to hear you and my eyes to see what you're doing so that I can join you in that!
- Give me a heart that OBEYS. Make my heart more like yours. Holy Spirit be loud and clear as you're directing me. Help me to choose obedience in every circumstance.
