God’sFlannelgraph |
In
this age of new video technology, it might be hard to believe that some
teachers still feel the best way to depict Bible stories is the
low-tech flannelgraph board. I recall that Sunday school
teachers used those flat boards covered with flannel, which enabled
them to display cutouts of David, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and all the
other characters. The flannelgraphs helped my teachers capture the essence of the Bible story in an artistic way.

Read: Psalm 19 |
Those old-school flannelgraphs aren’t the oldest graphic teaching devices, however. God has long had a kind of “flannelgraph” of His own, and it is called creation. God uses the marvel of creation to instruct us and to display His power. In Psalm 19:1, David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” In creation, God has revealed Himself so clearly that Paul declared, “His invisible attributes are clearly seen.” Those who have the witness of creation are “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Why? On the flannelgraph of God’s creation, we see God’s order and design. We see His power and glory. This should lead us to worship. “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1). (Psalm
19 -Audio-)

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. — Psalm 19:1 |
With
words of great power God formed the world—
By the strength of His voice heaven’s hosts were unfurled; Now in His honor we worship His name And in heartfelt devotion His glory proclaim. —Branon Creation
is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

Respuesta: Muchas veces a lo largo de nuestras vidas, cuando estamos mas cerca de la bendición que Dios tiene para nosotros, somos victimas del desanimo y olvidamos que Dios prometió no desampararnos nunca. A propósito, las únicas personas que se desaniman son aquellas que luchan por algo grande. El desanimo rara vez toca al corazón de la gente sin visión y sin metas, siendo el arma del enemigo para aquellos que saben lo que quieren. “Mira que te mando que te esfuerces y seas valiente; no temas ni desmayes. Porque Jehová tu Dios estará contigo en dondequiera que vayas” Josué 1:7 Dios ha prometido estar contigo todos los dias de tu vida. En el libro de Josue, cuando el pueblo de Israel se preparaba para la conquista de Canaan, y entrar en la tierra prometida, Dios le promete a Josuè que nunca lo desamparará y requiere de él de dos virtudes indispensables, el esfuerzo y la valentía. Dios no ha cambiado hoy y requiere que sus hijos nos mantengamos en pie ...
