Day 21: Sunday School Lesson

The Prompt:  Write a Sunday school lesson for five-year-olds.

This should be interesting.  This is taken from Joshua 10.

Do you remember the story of Joshua and the big wall at Jericho?  Joshua had obeyed God and marched around the wall seven times, and the wall came down.  Well God worked another miracle for Joshua.  Sometime after that happened, Joshua had become friends with some of their neighbors in the city of Gibeon.  But there were some kings in the land that were mad Joshua was living there, so they decided to be mean and hurt Joshua's friends at Gibeon.

Joshua prayed to God and asked that He would help him save his friends.  God promised that they would be safe.  Joshua believed God and started marching to Gibeon to save them, but they had to march a long time.  Joshua was worried that he would not have enough time to stop the evil kings since he had traveled so long, so he prayed to God, asking him to stop the sun for a whole day so he could have more time.  And you know what?  God heard Joshua's prayer, and He did just that.  God made the sun stop in the sky, and it stayed up all through the night.  Joshua was bale to defeat the evil kings, and nobody at Gibeon was hurt.

Just like Joshua obeyed God and believed Him, you should obey God too by following the Ten Commandments that you have heard.  God loves you, just like He loved Joshua, and He listens to your prayers too.  No matter if it's big or small, if you pray to God and believe, He will answer your prayers.  God might not always give you what you want right away, but He will give you what you need, just like your daddy takes care of you.
