Second half of Chapter 4

When God 
Makes You Smile!

When was the last time you had a good belly laugh? 

God has a great sense of humor.  

Let’s see if God can make you laugh today. 

Laughter is the best medicine for anything that is troubling you.

Candy: Laffy Taffy candy – They come individually wrapped with different flavors.  This is the best because you can talk about different kinds of laughter, and the children can have more than one. 

Tell the scriptures first, then go back through and talk about why Sarah Smiled!  Speak about God’s faithfulness to fulfill His Promise to Abraham.

Scriptures: Genesis 17: 1-22 (The Promise)

Genesis 21: 1-8 (Sarah’s laugh … Isaac’s birth, The Promise fulfilled, God is faithful)

Abraham and Sarah had a son and named him Isaac, just as God had told them.  God is faithful to finish all that he has started.  What about you?  What is the promise that God has given to you?  Has your promise died?  Be encouraged, and know that God is faithful.  He will complete what He has started in you, just like he did for Abraham and Sarah.

Today my little Grand daughter 
Breanna Machelle  7 yrs old
Experienced the bible first hand

She discovered that God 

Is not just what 

We talk about at Church

But that He is Real

And

His Son is Real

And

The Holy Spirit is Real

The Bible Became Alive to her

She experienced True "Joy"

Her face is glowing

Her smile is Real

This is how knowing God

Makes you Feel

Inside and Out

Let’s Pray: Father God, Thank you for giving us hope for tomorrow: even when things in this world can seem so hopeless.   Help us to keep our eyes on you and to Trust you in all things.  We know it is because you love us and know what is best for us.  Teach us to depend on you for the promises you have for us. We thank you that you are faithful to fulfill in us all that you want for us, You are our Heavenly Father, and know best how to bless your children.  You blessed Abraham and Sarah with Isaac their son.  And you bless us with Jesus Christ your son, to bring to us deliverance, healing and everlasting life. We receive your blessing of Jesus and it is in His name that we pray.  Amen!
