Tonight’s Bible Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own

understanding. Seek his will in all you do Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust; we hear this word all the time. When we are sick, we trust that the doctor

will give us medicine to make us better. We trust the pilot flying the plane when we take a trip. When I sit in this chair, I trust that it will hold me up.

Q #1 What does it mean to TRUST? To rely or depend on something.

Q #2 So what does this verse mean? God commands us to trust and depend on Him, not on ourselves.

STORY: Abraham trusts in God’s promises Genesis 12-18 (see next page)

Did You Know? "In God We Trust" is the official motto of the United States of America and this motto is on all US money? In November 1861, Secretary of Treasury Salmon Chase stated: "No nation can be strong except in the strength of God, or safe except in His defense."

ACTIVITY: Magnifying glass and Penny – Find “In God We Trust” on a penny!

Early Americans new the importance of trusting God. A nation or a people that trusts in God is wise indeed. We are wise also if we trust in God!

REMEMBER We can trust God. The Bible is full of people that trusted God and were much happier as a result. If we put our trust in God and obey Him, we, will live much happier and fuller lives.

CLOSING PRAYER – NEXT WEEK – God’s Promises… VICTORY Psalm 32:7

PASS OUT - TODAY I LEARNED… Say Bible memory verse and color picture!

Abraham trusts in God’s promises Genesis 12-18

One day, God came to Abraham and said, “Abraham! I want you to pack up all your

things and leave your home! I want you to go to the land I will give you. I promise

that I will bless you, and make your family great. I will be with you in all you do,

and because of you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”

Wow! That was quite a promise! But a scary one too. It meant that Abraham would

have to leave the place he knew and go to a place he didn't know. He would have to

trust God that everything would be okay. But that's just what Abraham did.

Abraham took his wife Sarah and his nephew Lot. They packed up everything they

owned and moved to the land of Canaan - that was the land that God was going to

lead him to. It couldn't have been an easy move to make. Abraham was 75 years

old when God told him to pack up everything he owned and leave his home!

And then... ...many years later, Abraham was resting in his tent after a hard day’s

work. It was a night like any other night... until God appeared.

God said to Abraham, “Do not be afraid! I am your defender! I promise that I will

give you a great reward.” Then God took Abraham out beneath the starry sky.

“Look up at the stars in the sky,” God said. “You will have a son. He will have

children, and his children will have children, and they will have more children, and

one day they will be as many as the stars in the sky.”

Abraham said, "How can this be? I am old!"

But God had made a promise to Abraham. God promised that he would have

children, and from him a great nation would come. God promised that they would

live in the land that God had given them. And God promised that because of

Abraham all people on earth would be blessed. And God always keeps his promises.

Abraham believed God's promise, and Abraham's faith pleased God. It was

Abraham's faith in God and his promise that made things right between Abraham

and God. That is an important thing to remember!

Before God even started to make the world, he had a plan. His plan is for us to

know how good he is, and how much he loves us, and that one day we will come to

live with him forever in heaven.
