Take It to the Maker

And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well.  The Lord will heal him.  James 5:15

 Props: laptop computer

             When this computer was created, it was in perfect working order.  Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world.  Sometimes things go wrong.  And so it did with the computer.  It doesn’t run anymore.  I have to decide where to take it to be fixed.  I have two good choices:  I can take it to the repair shop or I can take it back to the person who put it together in the first place.  Which do you think is best?  (Allow children to respond).  The best choice is to take it to the person who put it together: the creator.  The repair shop will be able to fix it, but no one can do the job better than the creator.

            Sometimes when we get sick we go to the doctor.  That’s like taking the computer in to the repair shop.  Doctors can tell you what’s wrong and how to fix it and medicine can help you get better.  But the one who knows you best is your Creator: God.  No one or no medicine on earth can make you better like God can.  He created you so He knows everything about you.  Only He can bring true healing.

            Today we’re talking about healing.  God is able to heal.  Learn to trust Him to heal you today.
