Practice what we teach

In thinking about the lesson, “God allows us to choose,” I was reminded of the truism in a saying my co-teacher Curt uses: “We can make choices, but we can’t choose the consequences!”

Step 3 of the lesson advocates that we worship the Lord. Why? What are the benefits? When we studied Isaiah a couple of years ago, we learned that worshipping the Lord prevents spiritual blindness that comes from worshipping false gods. It helps us avoid foolish decisions, overcomes feelings of ineptness, renews our commitment to the One true God, who relieves our burdens, and He encourages us. Remember, God is high and lifted up. Certainly He is bigger than any challenge we face in our lives.

Take a moment in class to worship the Lord. As a class try singing Holy, Holy by Michael W. Smith

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, For our Lord God Almighty Reign
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, For our Lord God Almighty Reign
Hallelujah, Holy, Holy
Are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
You are Holy, Holy,
Are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Amen

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, For our Lord God Almighty Reign
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, For our Lord God Almighty Reign
Hallelujah

Holy, Holy, Are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
You are Holy, Holy
Are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

You are Holy, Holy
Are you Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
(repeat)
