Preschool & Kindergarten-July 19th
How to Train Your Emotions: Anger
Bible Reading: Exodus 17:1-7—Water from the Rock.
God’s people were in the hot desert with no water to drink. They were hot, tired and angry and were complaining up a storm. Even though God heard their grumpy complaints, He loved them so much he still provided water for them in a very unusual and miraculous way.
Main Idea: God can turn my mad into glad.
The bible tells us that God can turn anger into joy. God can turn YOUR mad into GLAD! God’s people were grumpy, whiny, and ungrateful in the desert and He told Moses, their leader, to walk up to a large rock and hit it with his staff. When Moses hit the rock, enough water came rushing out for all of the people to have a drink. God could have ignored His people and their anger but He loved them so very much that he took their anger and replaced it with joy! No matter how mad we get we can always ask God for help turning our mad into glad.
Memory Verse: “I will be glad and full of joy because of you.”
-Psalm 9:2a
Next Week: We will be learning about how Jesus calmed a storm and how God is always near when you are afraid.
