God gives all of us marching orders if we are His children. The children learned this year in VBS at Faith Baptist Church that just as God gave Noah, Nehemiah and Jonah orders, He also gives us orders, which He expects us to follow. Noah followed God's orders and did Nehemiah but Jonah did not follow what God told him to do. There are consequences for disobedience. Jonah stayed in the belly of the fish for three days until he sought forgiveness. Disobedience always brings punishment. Throughout the day the children learned about marching orders from God through Bible stories, songs, missions speakers, crafts and recreation. It is my prayer that each child makes the decision to be in the Lord's Army.
Mrs. Debbie, Mrs. Sandy and Mrs. Amy taught Makenna's class. Their sweet and gentle spirits made such an impression on those chatty three year olds.
Jonah made an impression on the 3-4 year olds, or Makenna anyway. She told me after VBS was over all about Jonah not obeying. That gave me a prefect opportunity to to remind her that we expect her to obey just like God does and when she does not obey we are not happy and neither is Jesus.
Thank you Lord, for those opportunities to teach my Precious Angel about my loving Heavenly Father.
