SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON 164

TODAY’S MEMORY VERSE:

            “Thou shalt call his name John”  Luke 1:13b

 

 

 

Have you ever wanted something really bad for a long time?  Did you wait and wait and still it didn’t come?  Did you finally give up?  Well, that is exactly what happened to Elizabeth and Zacharias.  They had wanted a child for a long time, and it didn’t happen.  When they were old, an angel appeared to Zacharias and told him that Elizabeth would have a baby, and because they were both so old,  and he didn't believe it.  It didn’t make the angel very happy.  In fact, because of Zacharias’ unbelief, the angel caused him to become unable to speak until after the baby was born. 

 

We often are disappointed when things don’t happen the way that we want them to happen, and then we just give up on our dreams.  God always has a wonderful plan for us, but sometimes we have to wait for the plan to come together.  We cannot be impatient.  Faith means waiting until it comes to pass.

 

You are just a young person, but maybe you have asked God for something and it hasn’t happened yet.  Don’t give up!  God knows just when things should happen, and won’t let it happen until it is the right time.  Keep believing, and just wait, and you will see things happen just like Zacharias did.

 

Have a blessed week!
