I have found myself thinking for the past couple of weeks that I should give up my Wednesday night Bible Study class. I have been battling back and forth about it for a while. Last night, after being reminded that it was Wednesday and I had church that night (because I tend to forget what day it is), I stumbled upon a lesson plan for preschoolers about Hannah. I know that Hannah is the subject of this Sunday's Sunday School lesson, so I decided that a little back story on Hannah would make for a good fit. I didn't really read it and set off to church, proud to have my polished lesson in hand. When I got to church, I looked over the lesson. Turns out, God had an idea for what I needed to be taught. The lesson focused not on the normal story of Hannah that we all learn, the story of unyielding faith that the Lord that she so trusted would hear and grant her prayers, but focused on the kept promise of Hannah to her Lord. (Lord were you talking to me:) ) I taught the kids (I had 5 last night, a new high attendance for me.), but I was really teaching myself more than anything. I LOVED teaching those little kids and for the first time in a while, it didn't feel like something I had to do, it felt like something I was CALLED to do. This is one promise that I plan to keep to the Lord!!
Please feel free to comment below with your stories of promises kept to the Lord and how they brightened your life. I would love to hear from you!!
