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.

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.

No se entristezcan porque el gozo del SEÑOR es su fortaleza. (Nehemías 8:10b) Vivimos tiempos en los que el desánimo intenta debilitarnos. Los problemas cotidianos, las incertidumbres y las luchas internas pueden agotarnos. La Palabra de Dios nos recuerda que existe una fuente inagotable de fortaleza: el gozo en el Señor. Este gozo no depende de las circunstancias, sino de nuestra relación con el Creador. Cuando Nehemías pronunció estas palabras, el pueblo de Israel estaba cansado, arrepentido y con el corazón quebrantado al escuchar la ley de Dios. Aun así, Dios les mandó regocijarse, porque este gozo no era fruto de méritos humanos, sino de la gracia y fidelidad divinas. De la misma manera, hoy, nuestra fuerza no reside en nosotros mismos, sino en el gozo que brota de sabernos amados, perdonados y sostenidos por nuestro Dios fiel. El verdadero gozo en Dios nos fortalece porque nos aleja de nuestros problemas y nos lleva a contemplar la soberanía, el cuidado y las promesas del Padre. ...
