I share my own story of our handicapped son, looking back at what gave us the strength to endure and walk in grace - you have that strength too for it is a grace linked with faith that enables us to walk through the difficulties of life.

This is an introduction to my series of Monday Meditations

Main Objective: The slaughter of the innocents is not exactly a cheery and simple story, but we don’t want to ignore it. It’s important to tackle tough topics with young children, and to emphasize that God is still in control, even though things appear out of order. With this message, God’s providence is visible as we view Herod’s slaughter and the birth of Jesus, and compare it to the birth of Moses and the evil of Pharaoh.

Law/Gospel Theme: Even when life is challenging or things appear evil, God is in control and has a plan for our lives. All the Bible points back to Christ. Moses was born amidst tough circumstances and was called to rescue the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. Jesus was born as the fulfillment of God’s promises to us. He rescued us from the slavery of sin and gives us new life.

The Fingers in the Prayer Hand
PRAISE (thumb)– – Praise is telling God how great He is and talking about all the great things that God has done. Ask kids, ‘What are some things that you could say to God to tell Him how great He is?’ If you think time will allow, make an alphabetical list with one truth about God for each letter of the alphabet.

THANKS (1st finger)– – Thanksgiving is about thanking God for the things He has done and the things He has given us. Ask, ‘What are you thankful for?’ Help kids think of things in their lives, their families, the Bible, etc. that they can thank God for.

SORRY (middle finger)– – Confession is about telling God the things you’ve done that you know He wouldn’t want you to do. Tell Him you’re sorry and ask Him to forgive you. When we repent of our sins and turn to Jesus to follow Him, that is confession. Take this time to define the words sin and repent…
~ SIN ~ anything we do that goes against God’s law or anything we do that puts our desires
above God’s desires
~ REPENT ~ turning away from your sin and turning to God. (you can illustrate this by writing God on one piece of paper and sin/ self on a 2nd piece of paper and putting them on opposite walls. Have all the kids walk toward the sin sign while you talk about sin, then say repent and have them turn their back on ‘sin’ and walk toward God. Ask if they can be walking toward both at the same time….can you be sinning and obeying God at the same time?

ASK (ring finger)– -Ask is asking God for the things that you need. This is the time to ask for things you need, not just things you want. Ask kids, ‘What’s the difference between a need and want? What are some of the things we need?’ Remind kids that one thing we all need is a Savior and that Jesus is the only way to be saved and the only way to have a relationship with God. Take a minute to remind kids of Acts 4:12 which reminds us that salvation is only by believing that Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for our sin.

OTHERS (PINKY)– -Intercession is a word we use when we pray for others and it means asking God to help other people. You can pray for your family, your friends, people in your church and other people who need to hear about Jesus. Ask kids, ‘Who are some of the people you could pray for?’ Make a list of people to pray for and spend a few minutes praying for them.
