In the Sunday School in which I teach, there are three classes, Kindergarten, 1st - 2nd Grade and 3rd - 5th Grade. The Kindergarten class is taught in a different room, and the 1st - 5th grade start in one room. After a short lesson, praise and worship and offering, the 1st - 2nd grade go to their own class room. (For some of our lesson plans, see Easy Sunday School Lesson Plans.)
I spent the first twenty minutes teaching about the Strength, Power and Help that God has for all of us. It went really well, since it is part of my life daily, and the kids responded better than I expected.
The other teacher was a little awe stricken, because neither of us had talked to each other about what we were teaching. We just picked verses about God being the ever present helper, without talking to each other first.
Then the music teacher was amazed, because the song she was going to teach this day was one she had just heard at a Chris Tomlin concert. The story of the song is very powerful, but the song's name, "Whom Shall I Fear?" and its message, that God is always near us, helping us, made a coincidence into a very awesome display of the power of the Holy spirit. Three teachers who had not talked to each other, all blowing off the curriculum the same day, and all picking the same lesson to teach the same day in the same class.
It gets even more powerful. As my wife was walking past the kindergarten class room, she saw the teacher, whom just happens to be our daughter, standing up on the tables teaching the children about God always being there to help them. She ALWAYS follows a lesson plan, but today, since the clocks had to be turned back due to DST, she had to punt some. Children kept showing up late, so she changed some of the plan to be about God always being there to help.
He wanted us to teach that lesson, and all 4 of us did teach the same lesson, unknown to the others. I do not know if it was me, some other teacher or one of the students, but he wanted us to hear that word, and he made it happen.
That is the power of our God. He wanted us to know that he is a super power all on his own. No difficulty, so difference between us, no issues known or unknown can prevent God from being there for you. HE IS SUPER GOD, AND HE IS YOUR SUPER GOD.
