SuperVerse

Our SuperVerse for today, Psalm 86:5, describes God, our heavenly Father.

O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for Your help.

We are His children and He is loving, kind, and ready to forgive. When we come to Him humbly and confess our sins, God wants to wrap His arms around us, forgive us, and make us feel secure in His love and acceptance. This is the kind of heavenly Father we have!

Tell the children to look at the board and say the SuperVerse together twice. Then have them lower their heads and cover their eyes so they cannot see the board. Change three words of the SuperVerse to alter its meaning: 

• Change “good” to “mean.”
• Change “ready” to “slow.”
• Change “love” to “anger.”

Have the children look at the board again and raise their hands to tell you what is wrong with the SuperVerse. As they tell you the correct words, write them on the board to fix the verse. 

Repeat the process and change three more words:

• Change “forgive to “punish.”
• Change “unfailing” to “failing.”
• Change “all” to “some.”  

Let’s shout our SuperVerse together. Psalm 86:5:

O Lord, You are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for Your help.
