Children are faced with many attacks in life (from other people, from circumstances, and from the devil) and how they handle them will make all the difference.
The way we handle an attack doesn’t just affect us. Other people are watching how we respond and are forming their opinion about God and Christians based on what they see us do. Rather than overreact, we should demonstrate our faith in God by placing our trust in Him.
In this week’s lesson, Paul faces some very difficult circumstances. He is attacked by a snake! Paul knew that God was with him and that God still had a plan. Paul’s reaction to his attack demonstrates for us that God will always be with us and that, in the midst of an attack, we need to stay focused on God’s plan.
