Praising God

Today was the last day for our combined Sunday School classes. For the past few weeks, we have focussed our study on the different aspects of The Lord's Prayer. Today's lesson was based on Matthew 6:13 - "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen." What Jesus was telling His disciples was to praise God because He's sovereign, He's always with us and He Rules.

Since this is sometimes a difficult concept to grasp, the Sunday School children made wind chimes to remind them that God is always with them. The chimes remind us that God is sort of like the wind--we can't see Him but we know He is with us because, like the wind, we can feel Him--in love, in joy, in peace, in patience, in trust--all good feelings. Also, the bell wind chimes remind us to praise God with whatever instrument we have available.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord." -- Psalm 150:6

  1. I obviously hit the wrong key while preparing the Scripture cards. It is Matthew 6:13.
