SuperVerse

Our SuperVerse is Genesis 17:1b–2 (cev):

“If you obey Me and always do right, I will keep My solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted.”

Read Genesis 17:1–2 (cev):

Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him again and said, “I am God All-Powerful. If you obey Me and always do right, I will keep My solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted.”

We are not going to memorize the first part of verse 1, but I wanted you to see something interesting. How old was Abraham? He was 99.

Even though Abraham was very old, God still had important things for him to do! And even though you are very young, God has important things for you to do!

What did Abraham have to do in order to receive God’s promise? Obey and do right.

When we obey God and live according to His Word, we will see His promises come to pass in our lives! What was God’s promise to Abraham? He would give him more descendants than he could count!

Even though Abraham was 99 years old and didn’t have a son yet, God wanted Abraham to know—without question—that His promise would come to pass!

Boys, say our SuperVerse together as if God is talking to Abraham. You will have to use your most serious, deep voices here! Boys say the SuperVerse. Now girls, say the SuperTruth in your loudest voices: Girls say the SuperTruth, “I will obey God and trust His promises.”

Switch roles and repeat as time allows.

Note: Younger children may not be able to memorize the SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
