Time is a funny thing isn’t it! It moves so slowly when you are waiting for exciting things to happen like your birthday, or even just break time at school! Then passes so quickly when you really want it to slow down like just before bedtime or during school holidays! While we can’t stop time or slow it down … we can make the time we have each day matter! So, let’s get ready to discover how we can move forward with God and trust Him every step of the way:
We can trust God’s promises!
Remember how God promised Joshua that He would be with him wherever he went? (Joshua 1:9) Just like Joshua, we can trust that God is always by our side, guiding and protecting us. As we move forward, let’s hold onto His promises and have faith that He will never leave us.
We can listen to God’s voice!
Just as Samuel heard God’s voice in the temple, we too can hear Him speak to us through His Word and through prayer. (1 Samuel 3:10) When we take time to listen and obey God’s voice, He will lead us in the right direction. So, let’s stay close to Him and follow His guidance.
We can learn from mistakes!
In the Bible, Peter made mistakes but learned valuable lessons. Even when he denied knowing Jesus, he repented and found forgiveness. (Matthew 26:69-75) When we make mistakes, we can turn to God, ask for forgiveness, and learn from our experiences. God’s love and grace are always there to guide us forward.
We can be courageous!
Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? David, a young boy, showed great courage as he faced the giant. (1 Samuel 17) We can be brave like David by trusting in God’s strength. With Him on our side, we can overcome any obstacle that stands in our way.
Moving forward with God is an exciting journey! As we trust His promises, listen to His voice, learn from our mistakes, and be courageous we will experience incredible adventures of faith. So, come on now … let’s hold His hand and step forward, knowing that God is with us every step of the way. Remember, in Him, we can do all things! (Philippians 4:13)
