Peace In Safety

 

TALKING TO GOD

What things keep you safe every day? Being safe gives a feeling  of peace. Thank God for things that keep you safe – seat belts,  door locks, parents, the police, fire fighters and even smoke alarms.

DIVING IN

Who or what might scream if you burn your toast? Probably you, your mum or dad, and the smoke alarm.

GOING DEEPER

In the old days, someone would go into the street to shout or bang on a gong to warn others of a fire. However, people who were asleep sometimes didn’t hear the warning. Now houses and other buildings have small plastic boxes with batteries that warn us when there is a fire. You can sleep peacefully without worrying you won’t hear a gong clanging in the street.

God gives you an even better kind of peace that helps you feel safe all the time. Jesus said in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• What things are you afraid of?
• When you’re scared, how can you remember that God wants to give you His peace?
• How can you enjoy more of God’s peace today?
