TOPIC: God Is Good (Open Heaven for Teens 4 September 2024)
MEMORISE: The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. – Psalm 145:9
READ: Psalm 136:4-9 (KJV)
4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
MESSAGE:
The goodness of God can be seen in all His creation. Today’s Bible reading and memory verse clearly show that God is good.
God created everything from the beginning and saw that it was good. He first created light and saw that it was good. Then, to seal the depth of His goodness, He separated the light from the darkness. Now, we have what we call day and night (Genesis 1:1-5). God kept creating until day six, when He created man and saw that everything was good.
Another evidence of God’s goodness is that the ground hasn’t opened up to swallow any of us, nor has the sky collapsed over our heads. The trees have not rebelled against the order of their creation to fight mankind. Science might put forth reasons for the order of all things, but the fact is that it is God’s goodness that has kept everything on this earth throughout all the ages.
Beloved, even if you think you do not have reasons to thank and praise God, you should thank Him for everything He created.
KEY POINT: Think about the goodness of God around you and appreciate Him for the next 30 minutes
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ecclesiastes 7:1-9:18; 2 Corinthians 7:8-16
HYMN 37: Let Us With A Gladsome Mind
1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us sound His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
3 He with all-commanding might
Filled the new-made world with light;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
4 All things living He doth feed;
His full hand supplies their need;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
5 He His chosen race did bless
In the wasteful wilderness;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
6 He hath with a pious eye
Looked upon our misery;
For His mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
7 Let us with gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for He is kind;
For His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
