Buster the Builder enters (in worker’s uniform) and presents the lesson as a monologue

Hi!  I’m Buster the Builder.  I’m a builder.  I build things.  Sometimes I build little things and sometimes I build great big things.  This week I’m working on a big, big building.  So I guess you could say I’m building a building.  Anyway, while I’m building this building I sometimes have to climb waaaaayyyy up high to the top.  That puts me 200 feet in the air.  One slip and I’d be busted Buster.  Every part of me would be busted. 

Well, to keep me from getting busted, I wear these safety straps.  One end is attached to the strong steel beams of the building.   The other end is attached to me.  So if I fall, I won’t hit the ground.  I can build big buildings and climb waaaaay up high because I can trust these cords.  They have been tested and tried.  They are safe and secure.  I know I can trust my life to the cords because they will keep me from being busted Buster.

These cords remind me of a verse in the Bible.  It says God “…is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy.”  (Jude 1:24).  God will keep you from falling into sin and temptation if you will give your life over to Him and walk in His ways.  He will keep you from falling into the traps of the devil.  God will keep you from a busted up life.  He will keep you all the way.     

            Trust God with your life!
