A promise kept

The news story of the broken promise in “Remain Faithful” is not helpful to me. The idea in Step 2 of the lesson is how a promise from God can motivate us to faithful living.

Instead of using an example of a broken promise, consider picking a story that emphasizes, “a promise kept”. I liked this line about the student-athlete Bailes: “…despite being left out of the lineup all spring, Bailes maintained a great attitude and work ethic.” He was diligent and faithful despite adverse circumstances. I suppose he believed the promise made by his coach.
