Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: A peanut and a rock.
Preparation: None.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: An attitude from God is like a rock!
Illustration: Come to the front and show the boys and girls the rock and the peanut. Explain that both of these things are hard, at least from the outside. What happens though when pressure is added to the two items? Like what if I step on them? At this point, step on the peanut and the rock. Now show both to the boys and girls. The peanut was crushed under the pressure of my foot, but the rock wasn’t.
Explanation: It is the same way with our attitudes. When we allow God to influence us and give us joy and peace, that will fuel our attitudes. Even when bad things come it won’t crush us. It is like the rock. On the other hand, if we have a bad attitude or an insincere attitude it is like the peanut. It may seem good at times, but when pressure from life happens it can leave us crushed and destroyed. So be like a rock! Ask God to give you the strength, peace, and joy that fuels a good attitude!
