Main Focus: God Is Provider (Wandering--Exodus 15:22-17:7)

Anticipate: Wants vs. Needs

God’s people needed to rely on God's provision in the wilderness.  Let's think about the difference between wants and needs. What are some things we can not live without?  What are some things that only God can provide?  Let's give thanks to Him who knows and provides for our every need.

Memory Verse:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." --Proverbs 3:5-6

God understood the physical needs of the Israelites and He provided what they needed for 40 years!  God provided physical sustenance for the Israelites in the wilderness by giving them manna to eat and water to drink.   God gave them what they needed to live on earth.  Today, God provides us something much greater: eternal life in Jesus Christ.  God is our provider.


RESPOND: Water Experiments 

God is the God of Science.  He created it and provided it for our good use and to our benefit.  Today, we used Science to remember the truth of God.

Bless:"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight." --Proverbs 3:5-6
May our children know that God is their Provider.  May our children praise Him this week for His goodness in their lives.
