“Lesson from a Cave”
This week our VBS theme is – (“CAVE QUEST – Following Jesus the Light of the World”.) As we follow and walk in the light of Jesus, He gives us; HOPE, COURGAE, DIRECTION, LOVE and POWER. These are the lessons that the children have been learning. (Our VBS leaders, teachers and helpers have been spot on!) I have played the part of “Clark Cavern” in the VBS skit (Yes! My last name is CAVERN.) As I read the script and looked over the lessons, I have been reminded and convicted that these lessons are for all of us “big kids” as well. We find ourselves spiritual wondering around in a cave and must continually follow the LIGHT.
This story about the great prophet Elijah is about his need for - HOPE, COURGAE, DIRECTION, LOVE and POWER. The wind, and earthquake, and fire, did not make him cover his face, but the still voice did. (Mathew Henry said “Gracious souls are more affected by the tender mercies of the Lord than by his terrors.) Are you in a cave?
Go to the entrance where the LIGHT is and listen.
