SuperVerse

Let’s say the SuperVerse aloud together. Proverbs 2:6:

For the Lord grants wisdom! From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

What book of the Bible is this verse found in? Proverbs.

Who wrote or collected all the sayings in the book of Proverbs? Solomon.

So, we’re learning something from one of the wisest people who ever lived. Do you think he was saying something very important? Yes!

What does it mean to grant something? To give.

The word grant means to agree to give something to someone. In the verse, what does the Lord agree to give? Wisdom.

Yes; God chooses to freely give us wisdom so we can make wise choices and decisions that are pleasing to Him. Now, where can we find God’s Words that come from His mouth? The Bible is God’s Word.

Yes, when we read the Bible, we are filled with knowledge from God and about Him. The Holy Spirit helps us to understand what we read and guides us in how we can apply His wisdom in our lives.

Can you share a time when you asked God for wisdom to make a choice or decision? Children share.

Let’s read our SuperVerse together one more time from the board. Proverbs 2:6:

For the Lord grants wisdom! From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

First, write these words in random order at the top of the board: Lord, grants, wisdom, His, mouth, knowledge, understanding.

Next, erase those words from the verse.

Read the verse and stop at each space where a word was erased.

Have the children raise their hands to fill in the words. If someone answers incorrectly, call on another child until the correct word is given.

For the second round, erase the words on the top of the board and repeat, stopping at each space and having children supply the missing words from memory.

Conclusion: Great job learning this verse! When King Solomon needed wisdom, he went directly to God, the source of true wisdom—and we can do the same thing every day!

Younger children may not be able to memorize the entire SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it.
