1 Kings 19:1-21; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Hebrews 2:1-18
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise. Hebrews 11:39
At our Vacation Bible School, we have sometimes had a speaker do a chalk drawing and award it to one of the children for answering a question about the message. But that child does not get to take the drawing home with them right away. He must wait until the end of the week. In this way, the drawing serves as a lesson to others, teaching that we must wait to receive God’s promise as He works out His purposes in our lives and uses us as an illustration
to others. —Warren Hagey
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. —William Cowper
