Object Lesson | Stand Up


cn1005y-antique-chinese-stoolsSource (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies:  A paper box, tape, tissues, a solid step stool

Preparation: Make some random step stools from weak materials

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We need to depend on God!

Illustration: Come to the front and ask which one of these step stools would be able to hold me up?  Which would you feel comfortable holding you up?  Of course most of these would crush under the pressure of a person.  This step stool is made to support the weight and will hold up over time.

Explanation:  In life the strongest person in our life is God, and yet so many people think of something else first when situations come up in life.  When we need to get something from up high, we don’t go finding 10 tissue boxes!  Yet when we feel overwhelmed or just need someone who will never let us down people run to others who aren’t as dependable as God.  God should be our number one!  Where people, friends, and even family can fail us, God will never fail us!
