“Once God has spoken; twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God.”

Psalm 62:11 ESV

 

We saw so many examples of God’s power at work in our children’s classes this week!  As you talk about these lessons with your kids this week, be sure to emphasize that the power on display comes from God, not from anything we ourselves can do.  My prayer is that the kids in our care would be able to comprehend the power of God, and know that the all-powerful God knows them, cares for them, and loves them!
