SuperVerse
- Eight sheets of paper, one for each phrase of the verse
- Marker
- Whiteboard and marker; or chalkboard and chalk
- Bibles or the Superbook Bible App
Write the SuperVerse and reference on the board. Proverbs 3:6:
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
Write the following words or phrases in all capital letters on eight separate pieces of paper, large enough for the whole class to read:
- SEEK HIS
- WILL IN ALL
- YOU DO,
- AND HE WILL
- SHOW YOU
- WHICH PATH
- TO TAKE.
- PROVERBS 3:6
In the Bible story, who was seeking God’s will? Abraham, Eliezer.
Why did they need wisdom? To find a wife for Isaac.
This was a very important decision for Abraham, because God’s covenant promise to Abraham would continue through Isaac and his wife! Let’s read how Eliezer thanked God for answering their prayer. Read Genesis 24:26–27:
The man bowed low and worshiped the Lord. “Praise the Lord, the God of my master, Abraham,” he said. “The Lord has shown unfailing love and faithfulness to my master, for He has led me straight to my master’s relatives.”
Abraham and Eliezer prayed for wisdom and God answered their prayers!
Have the class read the SuperVerse on the board together once or twice, then erase it. Choose eight children to stand side by side in the front of the room. Scramble the eight pieces of paper with words from the SuperVerse and give one to each child. Starting on the far left from the class’s perspective, have the eight children create a “wave” by holding up and reading aloud their individual phrases—which will be out of order—and lowering their papers when done. Ask if that sounded right. The answer will be no!
Ask the rest of the class to tell you which reader should be first, second, third, etc. Rearrange the eight children in that order and have them read their phrases again, creating a “wave” with their papers. Ask the rest of the class if the verse is now correct. If not, have the class rearrange the readers again until they can say the phrases of the verse in the proper order. Finally, have the entire class follow the “wave” to say the verse together two or three times, going faster each time.
