SuperVerse

As we discussed in today’s teaching, the last part of the verse is so important for us to understand. When is God ready to help us? Always!

It doesn’t matter if you wake up during the night, or if it is early in the morning. You can be riding the bus to school or sitting in the classroom or lunchroom. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing. God is our place of safety and strength; and He always hears your prayers for help, even silent prayers! He is always ready to respond.

Let’s look at the board and say the SuperVerse, Psalm 46:1, together:

God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Have children look down at the floor and/or close their eyes as you erase a word. Then, have the children raise their hands to tell you what you erased. Write the word(s) back on the board as the children answer. As the activity progresses, erase more than one word at a time.

Read the verse together one final time to end the activity.

Note: 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. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
