God Is Faithful

TALKING TO GOD

Thank God for His faithfulness – for being strong when you are weak and for being with you no matter where you are.

DIVING IN

Go on a scavenger hunt. Each person should find one thing that is “strong”. As a family, talk about the items you gathered and why you chose them. Then test each item to prove that it is strong in some way.

GOING DEEPER

In Joshua 1:7, God tells Joshua to “be strong and very courageous”. Joshua’s strength comes from God and not from his abilities or skill. In the same way, God asks people today to do things such as loving their neighbour, doing what is right by their enemy, and feeding the poor. When you allow God to strengthen you, He demonstrates His faithfulness to you. Because of Jesus’ example and His strength, people can do what God requires, even when their inclination may be to love only those who are good to them. In 1 Thessalonians 5:24, the apostle Paul says, “He who calls you is faithful”. God will never ask you to do something without faithfully giving you the strength to complete the task.

TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• What do you think it means to be “strong in the Lord”?


• How does your strength show God’s faithfulness?


• When you say God is faithful, what does that mean?
